Greetings,

Still searching for a fun way to fill your summer?  Blind Industries and
Services of Maryland (BISM) may have just the thing for you!  This summer,
BISM Youth Services is heating up with two comprehensive, residential
programs: Work to Independence 2014 for high school students and
Independence 101 2014 for middle school students.

These fun and Educational programs offer students a chance to:
    * Learn non-visual techniques in Braille, cane travel, independent
living, and the use of technology
    * Build confidence through rock-climbing, team-building activities,
out-of-town trips, and recreational water activities
    * Earn valuable paid employment experience (Work to Independence)
    * Live in college apartments with blind peers and responsible blind
instructors/mentors
    * Discuss current events in the blind community and build a  positive
attitude about blindness
    * Learn to pursue personal, professional, and scholastic goals while
using non-visual techniques
    * Explore Baltimore's exciting tourist attractions
    * Travel to Washington D.C. (Independence 101) and New York City and
Orlando, FL (Work to Independence)
