Our camp is able to accommodate some basic dietary needs such as gluten free or dairy free. Dietary needs will be inquired about in the application.

This program is for 16- and 17-year-olds who are blind or low vision. Upon arrival, campers will meet a community of peers and leaders who value, encourage and support them and their development.

Attendees should be able to travel to campus and manage daily activities such as dressing, bathing and eating independently.

To help give you and your family peace of mind, Leader Dogs for the Blind coordinates and covers the cost of all public transportation to and from our campus for campers traveling within the United States and Canada. Supervision begins the moment your teen camper is greeted at the airport and continues throughout their entire stay. We're here to support your family every step of the way.

Your teen camper's private room has everything they need to feel right at home: their own bathroom, full-size bed, desk and chair, small refrigerator, television, internet access and temperature controls.
