[Nfbofsc] children's Camp Dates, Application and Requests for donations

[Jennifer Bazer]

Hello Federation Family!

 

In just over three months, blind children will converge on Rocky Bottom for
children's Camp 2019.

 

If you know of a blind child, please forward this info with link to complete
an application.

 

If you would like to make an in-kind or monetary donation, it would be so
appreciated to assist with food, transportation, outings, and supplies. All
donations have to be raised by Children's Camp from giving individuals like
our members, chapters and divisions. Please consider how you, your chapter
or division can help this year. Children's Camp does not use supplies from
Rocky Bottom Camp itself.

 

I will be at the leadership seminar on March 16 and can take donations then
if you have them.

 

Checks should be made to RBRCCB with Children's Camp in the memo line.

 

Supplies include:

 

Paper towels

Toilet paper

55 gallon trash bags

Glass cleaner

Toilet bowl cleaner

Bathroom and kitchen cleaner

Liquid dish soap

Liquid laundry detergent or pods

Bottled water

Individually wrapped crackers, cookies, little debbies, snacks and chips

 

Thank you so much for all your prayers, support and help to make Children's
Camp memorable for kids who are blind in SC.

2019 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 9 - June 15th,  2019. This camp is
free of charge and there are limited spots available. 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.
