The North Carolina Association of Blind Students and Governor Morehead
School Alumni Association is sponsoring the 5th annual Envisioning Youth
Empowerment Retreat (EYE Retreat).  The EYE Retreat is a weeklong summer
camp for high school and college students with visual impairments to learn
about college and career transition skills.

The 2013 EYE Retreat is scheduled for Monday, July 29 to Saturday, August 3
on the campus of The Governor Morehead School for the Blind and North
Carolina State University.  The EYE Retreat provides all food and housing
for the week.  Participants are only responsible for the cost of
transportation to and from Raleigh.

In previous years, the EYE Retreat has had participants come from
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, and
all over North Carolina.  Only 30 slots are available on a first come first
serve basis.

The EYE Retreat curriculum is based on research that indicates what skills
and activities help make college and career transitions most successful for
students with disabilities.  Each year group leaders who are current
college students or employed youth are selected to serve as group leaders
to mentor and support participants through the weeklong retreat.  The EYE
Retreat is based on three main principles include 1) real world
applications, 2) mentoring, and 3) identifying available resources.

Have you ever wondered how you, your blind or visually impaired (BVI)
child, or your student could tackle very visual science subjects in
school? Have you wondered if there are accessible means of exploring
science in the laboratory for BVI students? Then our fire side
discussion about the California chemistry camp is for you! Chemistry
camp is a program hosted by Accessible Science, a nonprofit working to
make science more accessible to BVI students. The camp is sure to be
an educational, exciting, academic and social meeting from May 3-5,
2013 near Napa, California.
The discussion will include an overview of camp by founder and
coordinator Hoby Wedler, discussion on filling out the application and
applying for camp, information on time and place of camp and camp
logistics, and perhaps most importantly, it will include testimonials
from past mentors, instructors, and student alum! There will be plenty
of time for your questions and comments throughout the call.
If you want more information on how blind students can study extremely
visual subjects or want information on talking constructively with
people who tell you that you can?t study visual subjects, this call is
sure to answer some of your questions about accessibility and most
importantly, about how you or a BVI high school student you know can
easily partake in the 2013 chemistry camp.
When: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 from 6:00-7:00 PM Pacific time
Where:
Call (218) 339-2500
Access code: 958093.
We hope to chat with you on March 12!
Yours very truly, The Membership Committee of the California
Association of Blind Students
