Utah Camp Abilities
Camp Abilities Utah is a 4 day educational sports camp for children and teens who are blind, visually impaired, and deafblind. The camp aims to provide a one-on-one instructional situation for each person, which is not often available at other camps designed for people with visual impairments.
Mission
First and foremost, the mission, or purpose, of Camp Abilities Utah is to empower children and teens with visual impairments to be physically active and productive members of their schools, towns, cities, and communities, as well as to improve the health and well-being of people with sensory impairments.
Currently, there are 29 Camp Abilities across the United States and the World! Efforts are also under way to create new camps!!
