Come and get your questions answered and then you can register for this
year's NFB BELL and Beyond camp taking place at Pilgrim Cove Camp in McCall
Idaho.

 

This camp is for blind and visually impaired young people aged 7 to 17. It
provides a fabulous opportunity to learn and build on blindness skills,
social skills and independence skills. Students will be together with staff
(many of whom are blind or visually impaired themselves) for a week from
July 21 through 27. There are many activities that make the most of the
beautiful mountain and lakefront location - including kayaking, swimming,
hiking and s'mores around the camp fire.

 

 

There is a flyer attached with more information and a link to register.

Here are some videos from last year's camp to give you a flavor!
