[nabs-l] question about summer camp

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Kelsey,

If the camp is for blind people, do you know what the other campers do
to learn the hand motions for the campfire songs? Or does it just not
really bother them to not know the motions?
I agree that if you put it on your camp application it's likely to get
forgotten. Best to approach a counselor or another camper on the first
day before the first campfire and ask to be taught the hand movements,
or ask someone to sit with you at the first campfire and teach you as
the song is going.
