Brookville, NY (April 17, 2023) – Registration is open for the Helen Keller Services (HKS) summer camp, “Camp Helen Keller,” a 5-week day camp experience for children age 7 to 14 who are blind or have low vision, being held this summer, from July 10 to August 11, 2023 at the Long Island University CW Post campus, located at 720 Northern Blvd, Greenvale, NY 11548.
Camp Helen Keller is a summer program created more than 60 years ago for children ages five to 15 who are blind or visually impaired. Its main goal is to improve participants' self-esteem, self-confidence, and socialization skills for campers from Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens, who receive free door-to-door transportation.
Campers participate in traditional activities, such as swimming, arts and crafts, music and dance classes, and field trips and technology classes that have been adapted for visually impaired people. The camp is closed out annually with an inspiring variety show filled with singing, dancing and musical performaces by the campers.
Camp counselors are committed to bringing their unique talents to the children. They are specially trained to adapt recreational and social activities to ensure each child’s experience is accessible. Camp memories are created along with lifetime friendships.
