In school I would be excused from various games because my vision was an obstacle. Camp accommodated us. We used our hands mostly. My favorite pastime at camp was swimming. Fagan stated that learning to swim is a life-long skill.
Most kids learn to swim at camp.
Many of these activities require physical motion. Camp provides opportunity for mobility and travel. Cocilovo also mentioned that kids gain independence and self-confidence from being at a special camp for the blind. Cocilovo further explains that the tasks are presented in a fun and supportive fashion so they do not seem like chores. After campers return home, he receives letters and calls from parents telling him how their child now helps with chores around the house.
