I volunteered as a councilor at a summer sports camp for blind and visually impaired athletes. I was looking for an experience to familiarize myself with just another disability that affects so many individuals, but what I got was an experience that taught me so much about the blind and visually impaired community, and just an experience working with kids in general.
The camp is a five day camp for kids to participate in all sorts of sporting events like track, fishing, rock climbing, etc, as well as meet other kids and even some staff with visual impairments.
It was incredible, however overseeing a group of eight 14 year old boys and socializing with 45+ other kids for five days was pretty tiring!
