Description
Come out to Camp Tuhsmeheta (Camp T) for this weekend event, where we will take part in activities designed to help boost social confidence while spending time with friends. Campers will have an opportunity to learn from adults who are blind/low vision (BLV) about skills they use when connecting with people and navigating new situations with confidence. We will also explore how to dress for different occasions. For Saturday evening’s dinner and dance party, campers will dress in formal or semi-formal attire, which they will bring from home. There will also be time throughout the weekend to play games and spend quality social time with friends.
Parents are invited to gather at White Pine Lodge at 10 a.m. on Sunday for a time of connection and to learn about the skills taught during the camp so that students may continue to work on them at home.
Audience
This event is for students in Michigan, ages 13–17, who are blind/low vision.
