Colleagues,

Hoby Wedler has asked me to distribute this announcement about a program
supported by our California Affiliate.

------------------

Announcing the 2013 California Chemistry Camp for Blind and Visually
Impaired High School Students!



               Would you like to learn how blind people tackle the very
visual subject of organic chemistry successfully? Do you have a general
love for science? Do you want to learn how you can do chemistry as a blind
person just as successfully as your sighted peers? Do you want to apply the
chemistry you learned to food such as olive oil? Are you interested in how
blind professionals use science in their careers every day? Then the 2013
California Chemistry Camp is for you!



Come join Accessible Science for an Educational, exciting, and Fun-Filled
weekend of science education! The 2013 California Chemistry Camp  is made
possible through our partnership with the National Federation of the Blind
of California and with additional contributions from the University of
California, Davis chemistry department, and the Lighthouse for the Blind of
San Francisco.



When: Friday, May 3, 2013 through Sunday, May 5, 2013. 

Where: Enchanted Hills Camp near Napa, California. 

Who: Up to fifteen blind high school students ages 14-18 will be selected
to participate.

Cost: There is no cost to apply for the program. 

Accessible Science is a 501(c)(3) organization with the purpose of
providing accessible educational opportunities. While programming is
provided at no cost to participants, everyone is encouraged to make a tax
deductible donation to support current and future programs of Accessible
Science. Only through the generosity of our supporters can we provide our
programs at no cost.



               During this exciting and busy 3-day experience, students
will get to learn how blind and visually impaired people use  chemistry in
their careers, they will explore techniques used by blind people to make
chemistry accessible, they will perform hands-on accessible chemistry
experiments, they will apply the chemistry they learned to some basic
cooking and olive oil chemistry, see the chemistry they learned turned into
action with an exhilarating magic show, and talk with blind and sighted
scientists who use science as a mainstay of their careers. The students
will also be able to participate in recreational activities. Exciting
evening activities are planned. Note that students need not only love
science to apply. This will be a learning experience for everyone!



Throughout the weekend, students will have quality time to socialize
amongst each other and with blind mentors and instructors. 

               Students will be put into groups of three and each group
of three will work with a blind mentor. The blind mentor will act as a role
model for the students during the course of the weekend and do everything
with the students. The students will perform all activities with their
mentors. Each group (three students and mentor) will most likely share a
sleeping area. Other blind and sighted instructors and volunteers will also
be present for the duration of the camp. 

               Transportation will be provided to Enchanted Hills Camp
from pick-up points in the San Francisco bay area and at pick-up points in
Sacramento. Transportation will leave the pick-up points in both the bay
area and Sacramento around 2 PM on Friday, May 3 and will be dropped off at
the same points at about 4 PM on Sunday, May 5. Adults affiliated with the
chemistry camp will wait at pick-up points until all children are accounted
for by their parents or legal guardians. Parents are also more than welcome
to provide their child with transportation directly to the camp if they
wish. If parents drive their children, they should plan to arrive at the
camp near Napa, California around 3 PM on Friday and be back at the camp to
pick up their children at around 2 PM on Sunday.

               The application is attached. There are two parts, one to
be filled out by the student and one to be filled out by the parent or
guardian. Please fill out both sections completely and email to Angela
Fowler at fowlers at syix.com.

Note that this is a preliminary application. If applicants are selected
to move on in the process, the student and/or parent or legal guardian may
be interviewed via telephone. Once a student has been accepted to
participate, they will be notified by email or phone. 

Once students are accepted, the parents or legal guardian of the student
will be sent several permission release and safety forms to be signed and
returned in the pre-addressed envelope which will be included in the
packet.
Logistical specifics of the camp such as transportation, dietary
allergies, a more precise schedule, and health concerns will be discussed
at this time.
Note that if we do not receive all permission forms signed by the parent
or legal guardian of a student by the time of the camp, the student will
NOT be able to participate in the camp.



               We hope to see you this spring at Enchanted Hills!
