It’s that time again. Time to sign up for summer camp! Camps are a great way to make new friends, try new activities, foster teambuilding, and boost independence. Often a camp experience is the only opportunity for students with visual impairments, who attend schools in their home districts, to play sports and meet other students with visual impairments. Kids will leave camp with fond memories they’ll cherish forever. We’re excited to share that IFB Solutions is hosting two free residential camps this summer, built for students in grades 7-12 who are blind or visually impaired. Registration is now open for S.E.E. 2022 Summer Camps in North Carolina!

S.E.E. Camp H20 at YMCA Camp Hanes

Co-Ed • Rising 7th-10th graders • Residential • June 19-24, 2022

King, NC • 828-667-9778 x5802 •  jhardwig@ifbsolutions.org

S.E.E. Camp H2O is an overnight camp for kids who are blind or visually impaired, and who are looking for a traditional camp experience. Camp Hanes offers a wealth of activities—from climbing and kayaking to archery and ropes courses—and we’ll do our best to keep things challenging, accessible, and fun. This will be a blended camp: S.E.E. Campers will have their own cabins, counselors, and schedule, but will also join in some activities with campers with typical vision.  Cost: Free.

 

S.E.E. Adventure Camp

Co-Ed • Rising 10th-12th graders • Residential • July 17-21, 2022

Bryson City, NC • 828-667-9778 x5802 •  jhardwig@ifbsolutions.org

S.E.E. Adventure Camp is for teens who are blind or have significant 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 the group lodge at Wildwater Nantahala, and spend time at the Nantahala Outdoor Center as well.  Cost: Free.
