Where: Nantahala Gorge, near Bryson City, North Carolina
When: Sunday, July 21 through Thursday, July 25, 2024
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 the Group Lodge at Wildwater Nantahala, and spend some time at the Nantahala Outdoor Center too. There are 12 spaces available for the 2024 camp.
Who: Campers are rising 9-12 graders with blindness or low vision. Instructors include certified Teachers for the Visually Impaired and Orientation & Mobility Specialists, along with a few other adventurous souls, both blind and sighted.
