[nabs-l] I Retreat from No Challenge

[Alan A. Chase]

I Retreat from No Challenge is the motto of the EYE Retreat, a summer camp
that teaches visually impaired youth how to prepare for college.  Since
2009, the EYE Retreat has grown from 15 students from only North Carolina
to 51 students from eight states and two countries in 2015.  So far for
2016, applicants will come from 3 countries and seven states.  Do you want
to be a mentor?  Apply to be part of our volunteer staff.  Want to learn
college prep skills?  Apply to be a student.  Many of our students return
in later years to be mentors!

The EYE Retreat includes skills such as academic preparation, public
transportation, social skills, dorm living, job shadowing, and
independence.  All learning activities are research based and taught by
those with visual impairments themselves.
