2024 SPECIAL PROJECT 2025
CAMP SEE YA
Children aged 7-18 who are visually impaired are invited to attend summer camp at Brigadoon Village for Camp See-Ya. This camp allows children with visual impairments to experience summer camp in a safe environment and connect with others facing similar challenges.
Campers will take part in a wide range of camp activities (which are adapted to be accessible to them and ensure they can be successful), make meaningful connections with others, and build valuable skills which will help them to be successful outside of the camp environment, as well. During Camp See-Ya, we emphasize building skills in independence and self-advocacy.
All of this takes place during a week full of exceptional fun!
We will also be collecting Old Prescriptions Glasses, Please give these to your District Deputy Grand Matron upon their visit, or on the Official visit of the WGM/WGP.
Please support our special project by purchasing a calendar and a Lapel pin Which are available from your Chapter Member.
Service Dogs
There will also be a fun contest to help support Service Dogs. (Name Mr. and Mrs. Nutcracker) It is hoped that we can raise funds to help in getting a Visually Impaired Dog.
Dedication
