summer camps for blind youth
Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind is thrilled to offer another opportunity for blind and low vision youth to push through barriers, build confidence and increase self-esteem. Foresight's Summer Camp for Blind Youth is for any blind or low vision child between the ages of 8-21. Camp one is in June and camp two in July.
Campers meet in the Vail Valley for three days of fun and outdoor adventure which may include paddle boarding or canoeing on an alpine lake, rock climbing at historic Camp Hale, hiking, horseback riding and more. Meet new friends or reconnect with old ones. Foresight's summer camp is a safe place for youth who are blind or experiencing low vision to get outside and empower themselves through goal-oriented adaptive recreation.
All activities, lodging, lunches and around town transportation are provided by Foresight. Donations are kindly requested to help offset the cost of camp at whatever level is comfortable for families. Please consider making a donation so programs like this can continue and thrive for years to come.
Check out photos from previous summer camps below. For more information or if interested in sponsoring a camp please email Christine or call 303-506-3859.

Summer camps are over for 2024
Foresight hosted two fantastic Summer Camps for Blind Youth this summer serving 33 low vision and blind campers. It's great to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. It's even cooler watching the kids have fun doing many of the same activities as their sighted peers. If you haven't joined us yet, please consider doing so in 2025. You won't be disappointed!
New this year was a float trip on the Upper Colorado River from Rancho del Rio to State Bridge. The giggles, squeals of delight, and endless laughter through the “rapids” signaled it was a good decision to add rafting. Thank you Timberline Tours for the adventure!
A big thank you to Buddy Bike for the donation of an adaptive tandem bike. What fun the kids had riding the Buddy Bike, with support, around Nottingham Lake in Avon.
Horseback riding and rock climbing remain fan favorites. Thank you to 4 Eagle Ranch, 4 Eagle Stables and Adventure Travel Guides International/Eagle Climbing and Fitness. There’s nothing more heartwarming than watching a child embrace a gentle giant or more impressive than watching a blind child climb up then back down a granite rock face. These kids never cease to amaze me with what they can accomplish. They are absolutely incredible!
