Lighthouse of Collier Summer Camp for Children Who are Blind and Visually Impaired

Children’s Camp 2026 June 22nd – July 17th (NO SUMMER CAMP JULY 3)

For information, please call Kayla at 239-430-3934.

The Children’s Program Summer Camp for our clients ages 6 – 13 offers an opportunity for the children to apply the skills they have practiced and learned throughout the school year. Activities throughout the camp address the following areas of the Expanded Core Curriculum: Independent Living Skills, Assistive Technology, Communication skills, Social Interaction skills, Recreation and Leisure Skills, Orientation and Mobility skills, Career Education/Job Readiness, Sensory Efficiency Skills, and Self-Advocacy and Self -Determination Skills. During each day of camp, the students are tasked with preparing their own lunches and cleaning up after themselves; creating various crafts and/or participating in adapted sports; and taking part in presentations from different community leaders. Additionally, they are prompted to make their own choices and speak up for themselves independently throughout each day. During each week of the camp, the students take part in at least one outing, providing them with opportunities to integrate within the community and practice independent travel techniques. The four weeks then culminate with a final “closing ceremony” where family members are all invited, and students can present everything they’ve learned throughout the camp.

Please note: The Lighthouse of Collier Summer Camp is open to children who are between the ages of 6 and 13, have a permanent residence in Collier County, and have a medically documented vision impairment.
