National Camps for Blind Children

National Camps for Blind Children^®/Adults (USA) and National Camps for the Blind^® (Canada) are affiliated with Christian Record Services. This project began in 1967 with a single camp at Kulaqua in High Springs, Florida. The camping program has been such a success that we now operate two dozen camps at various locations across the United States and Canada. Since its organization, over 43,000 campers have attended these unusual camps.

Each camp is scheduled at a well-equipped site, chosen especially for the standard of excellence and geographical location.

Committed staff and counselors are trained to meet the needs of our blind campers. Medical personnel are on duty 24 hours a day. Emergency care is available when needed.

The camps are FREE - thanks to gifts from generous donors - to those who are between the ages of 9 and 65 and whose corrected vision is no better than 20/200. However, we require a processing fee of $35 per camper.

Objectives

NCBC/NCB helps blind campers to

• discover undeveloped potential

  God's love and care

Summer Camps

talent night.

Winter Camps

Winter camps are designed to give visually impaired youth (ages 14-30) the opportunity to participate in winter activities, including skiing, sleighing, snowmobiling, and tubing.
