Teen Session (9th-12th grade) offers a dynamic, two-week experience filled with a wide range of engaging programs, including campfires, swimming, drama, arts and crafts, and adaptive sports. Campers will be encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, face new challenges, and build independence alongside new friends in a supportive environment.
A key focus of this session is fostering personal growth and leadership development. Campers will deepen their understanding and acceptance of their vision loss, enhancing their self-confidence and sense of empowerment. Opportunities for leadership roles abound, allowing participants to practice valuable skills such as public speaking, organization, activity planning, and facilitating group discussions. By assisting peers and staff, campers will cultivate teamwork and mentorship abilities that contribute to success in education, careers, and life.
This summer, alongside the cherished camp traditions that keep teens coming back, we’re excited to introduce a new woodworking session during the second week of the teen session. Led by craftsman and blind woodworking instructor George Wurtzel, this immersive experience is designed to teach blind and low vision teens basic woodworking skills, allowing them to create something meaningful to take home. Teens can sign up for one or both sessions (please complete both registrations if you wish to attend both). However, space in the woodworking program is limited, so we encourage early registration to secure your spot.
