Heather's Camp: Created for kids, anchored in love

Founded in 2001, Heather’s Camp focuses on providing youth ages 7-18 who are blind or visually impaired with a traditional camp experience in an inclusive environment. Campers learn new skills, create lasting friendships, and build confidence. Our volunteer counselors support and encourage campers to challenge themselves, overcome barriers and actively participate in a variety of camp activities.   

These are just a summary of the fun filled activities we offer!

Heather's Camp isn't just a summer camp; it's a transformative experience for campers seeking to improve their Extended Core Curriculum (ECC) skills. Heather's Camp offers a unique blend of adventure and learning, empowering students to grow in confidence, independence, and community.

Campers embark on a journey of discovery, navigating diverse environments and honing their mobility and sensory skills in unfamiliar settings. We nurture a sense of community through engaging in group activities where campers learn valuable life skills like teamwork, communication and effective time management. These experiences forge lasting friendships that extend beyond the campgrounds, providing a supportive network for continued growth.

Our dedicated team of group leaders understand the importance of pushing campers outside their comfort zones, creating opportunities for self-discovery and building robust self-confidence. This newfound confidence guides campers not just through camp, but also back into their everyday lives. It is more than just fun; we provide the tools and experiences that empower campers to navigate the world with confidence, independence, and a vibrant community by their side.
