Below, you will find info about camp this summer at Rocky bottom. Half the
spots have been filled and we are looking for 13 more campers, so, please
pass the word! 

 

I am also looking for volunteers, mostly blind, but definitely need some
sighted assistance as well. Please contact Jennifer Bazer if you wish to be
a camper, junior counselor or adult sighted or blind volunteer. Mandatory
background checks are performed on all volunteers and interviewed by the
director before a decision is made for volunteers.

2017 Rocky Bottom Retreat and Conference Center of the Blind Summer
Children's Camp

 

 

Rocky Bottom Retreat and Conference Center of the Blind is a year round
facility available free of charge to any blind South Carolinian and his or
her family. 

 

Rocky Bottom Retreat and Conference Center of the Blind is pleased to
announce the annual summer camp for legally blind children. The camp session
for your child will be June 25 - July 1, 2017. This camp is free of charge
and there will be a maximum of twenty-five campers. Supervised recreational
activities including hiking, Arts and crafts, mountain climbing, water
slides, games, swimming, cookouts, field trips, Braille activities and more
will be offered. Parents will receive information about resources,
literature, computer training, daily living skills, legislative updates and
counseling in specific problem areas.  

 

As in the past, senior and junior counselors and administrative personnel
will be primarily legally blind individuals. This is a unique and important
feature of the rocky bottom program. Family members are requested to
accompany their child to rocky bottom on Sunday and also to return to camp
on Saturday morning to pick up their child.  Campers will be accepted on a
first come, first serve basis. Transportation may be provided as needed.
Designated pickup points will be assigned at a later date.
