Child Care: NFB Camp

 

If you are bringing children with you to convention, you may want to
register them for NFB Camp. The National Federation of the Blind provides
childcare

for children six weeks to twelve-years during pre-convention meetings,
General Sessions, and Banquet. We separate the children into groups by age,
and

the activities are age appropriate, including lessons from the NFB BELL
Academy curriculum. Deadline to Register for NFB Camp is June 20, 2022. 

Register for NFB Camp now.

 

As we did in past years when National Convention was in person, we provided
parents with the ?Camper?s Curriculum?, which outlines the daily activities

for the children. These include: Games, Arts and Crafts, O&M lessons,
Outside Water Play, walks to nearby attractions; and of course, NEB BELL
lessons.

The Camper?s Curriculum will be posted to the Convention page as soon as it
is prepared.

 

Staffing

 

Each of the Camp rooms are staffed with a Lead Teacher who supervises the
staff and children in their room. These Lead Teachers are from Carla?s
Montessori

Schools, or have been working Camp for many years. All of them have
experience working with blind children. The rooms are staffed according to
the number

and ages of the children in each room. These additional staff are members
and family members of the Federation.

 

Carla McQuillan has been the NFB Camp Director since 1996. Carla is the
Executive Director of Montessori Schools in Oregon, and serves as the
President

of our Oregon Affiliate and on the National Board of Directors.  This year,
we are beginning the transition of NFB Camp Director from Carla to Harriet

Go.

 

Harriet is an elementary school teacher in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She
teaches kindergarten through third grade students with a variety of learning

disabilities in the areas of reading and math. She earned her Bachelor's
degree in Education from Temple University in Philadelphia, and a Master's
in

Elementary Reading and Literacy from Minnesota's Walden University. With
more than a dozen years of experience in the classroom, Ms. Go is deeply
committed

to helping each student reach their full potential, academically and
emotionally. With a positive attitude, Harriet truly believes that education
is a

system for creating change and for social good. Harriet has been our NFB
BELL Academy Teacher in Philadelphia for many years.

 

Deadline to Register for NFB Camp is June 20, 2022.
