Registration is now open for the 2017 SEE Adventure Camp (for students in
grades 7-12 who are blind or close to it). Here’s the nitty-gritty:
Where: Nantahala Outdoor Center, Bryson City, North Carolina
When: Sunday, July 23 through Thursday, July 27, 2017
What: An overnight outdoor adventure camp for kids who are blind or have
a 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
bunkhouses at the Nantahala Outdoor Center Basecamp.
Who: Camp instructors include certified Teachers for the Visually
Impaired and Orientation & Mobility Specialists, along with a few other
adventurous souls, both blind and sighted. 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: *Almost free. *SEE Adventure Camp is supported by the IFB
Solutions Foundation, with help from Team FarSight Foundation. All food,
activities, and lodging are provided free of charge to campers. This year
we have added a $50 registration fee to reserve your space in camp. There
are only 18 spaces available for the 2017 camp.
