A family recreation program designed to facilitate access to community activities for children and young adults ages 5-21 who are blind/legally blind and their families. Participation in each activity requires at least one parent/guardian to attend; however, participation from the entire family is encouraged. Participants are provided with appropriate adaptations and advocacy skills to include all family members in existing community recreation opportunities. Program runs monthly during the school year September through June and activities range widely from outdoor sports like paddling and hiking to indoor activities such as Dave & Busters and swimming. Program staff support the building of independence and socialization skills for the youth along with education and networking opportunities for parents and siblings. Each activity includes a relevant life skill which is discussed and explored with parents for their use during the activity and for future family outings.
