[Nfbf-l] FW: Summer Camp

[Russell Davis]

I went to a camp in High Springs, Fl. for several years as a child. It 
wasn't NFB, but was still geared towards blind kids. I loved that experience 
and when I close my eyes, I can still take myself back there :o)

When I was a kid in Southern California, the Braille Institute had a camp 
like this every summer.
I looked forward to it every year.

This sounds like a lot of fun.  It’s too bad there isn’t a place like this 
for adults?



Sharing FYI:



Do you know a teenager who is blind who would love to participate in a 
summer adventure? Here’s an announcement about a summer camp opportunity in 
the beautiful state of North Carolina, that sounds fabulous!



Registration is now open for the 2016 SEE Adventure Camp (for students in 
grades 7-12 who are blind or close to it).

Here’s the nitty-gritty:

What:  An overnight outdoor adventure camp for kids who are blind or have a 
severe visual impairment, and who are ready to stretch their legs and hit 
the trail.  We plan to hike, raft, climb, swim, and zip in and around the 
Nantahala Gorge in Western North Carolina.  We’ll stay in bunkhouses at the 
Nantahala Outdoor Center, make most of our own meals, and spend some time 
around the campfire too.

Where:  Nantahala Outdoor Center, Bryson City, North Carolina (about an hour 
west of Asheville)

When:  Monday, June 20 through Thursday, June 23, 2016

Who:  Camp instructors include certified Teachers for the Visually Impaired 
and Orientation & Mobility Specialists, along with a few other adventurous 
souls.  We’ll be joined by Trevor Thomas from Team FarSight Foundation, a 
blind hiker who has logged over 20,000 miles in the backcountry.

Cost:  FREE.  The SEE Adventure Camp is supported by A Brighter Path 
Foundation, with help from Team FarSight Foundation, and is FREE of charge 
for all students.  There are only 12 spaces available for the

2016 camp.
