Hi Dorothy,

Here is the updated information for our 2020 Virtual Summer Camp.  Would
you please get this information out to all of your members. I think they’ll
enjoy the experience.
*Leader Dogs for the Blind Virtual Summer Experience Camp 2020*

Camp dates: Sunday, June 21–Friday, June 26, 2020
*Application deadline: Friday, June 5, 2020*

This free camp experience gives teens 14–17 years old in the U.S. and
Canada an awesome lineup of virtual activities to build their independence!
Participants will explore mobility options like guide dog travel, build
leadership skills and make lasting relationships with peers. Using Zoom
video conferencing, we will lead two 30-minute virtual sessions each day at
12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Teens can look forward to a Q&A
session with a guide dog mobility instructor, a game session, a private
Facebook group to keep the fun going through the week and lots more!
Presenters include Leader Dog O&M Instructors, Leader Dog guide dog
mobility instructors and some special surprise guests! Participants will
receive a free LDB Virtual Summer Experience Camp t-shirt and a chance to
win other prizes including a Humanware Victor Reader Trek.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
