SUMMARY:How a Summer Camp Can Change a Child's Life Forever - Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind
DESCRIPTION:How a Summer Camp Can Change a Child's Life Forever- Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind\n\nBy Gwen Botting\n\nOpportunities Unlimited for the Blind Camps offers summer camps and select year-round programs for children and youth who are blind or have low vision. The programs emphasize essential independent living skills often overlooked in traditional settings\, including personal organization\, safe cooking techniques\, and everyday problem-solving\, while also fostering strong social connections. Through engaging and sometimes unexpected activities such as kayaking\, woodworking\, ice fishing\, and biking participants build confidence\, independence\, and lasting friendships. These experiences help children develop skills naturally\, in a supportive environment focused on mutual respect\, capability\, and fun.\n\nGwen Botting has served as Executive Director of Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind since 2012. Motivated by her experience raising a son who is totally blind and now lives and works independently\, she identified gaps in blindness education and has dedicated her career to addressing them.\n\n\n\n \n\nPrograms are FREE and open to all!\n\nAll programs begin at 1:00 p.m. unless noted otherwise. This year's programs and concerts will be a hybrid of in-person (at the Scott Club unless noted otherwise) and online. Non-members/guests please send email to info@scottclub.org to request a Zoom link.
