[blindkid] FW: [Nfbc-info] Fwd: Updated California Chemistry Camp ProgramAnnouncement

[Gina Ouellette]

Hi,

This came from the NFB of California list asking for it to be distributed outside of California as well. It is for the Chemistry Camp at Enchanted Hills Camp, a camp in Northern California for Blind and Visually Impaired kids and teens.

I had an opportunity to observe this program last year and it is amazing-- No vinegar and baking soda volcanoes here! There are real scientists and chemistry professors from a university, doing real, very cool, very hands-on science experiments. The coordinator, Hoby Wedler, is a blind chemist. 

A great opportunity if your child or teen can make it!
