[NAGDU] Leader Dogs Summer Experience Camp

[Star Gazer]

This may be a dumb question but can kids who are sighted do this? 
My daughter loves dogs and would probably love to be the lead on a tandem bike and interact with future Leader Dogs, she’s great with our pet dog. 
I was thinking including students who are sighted and like dogs or are interested in blindness “stuff” might bennifit from this experience.
