The foremost purpose of Camp Abilities is to empower children who are visually impaired and blind to be physically active, productive members of their schools, communities, and society and to improve their health and well-being. Camp Abilities Sports Weekend teaches children what they CAN do and encourages them to be more independent. Each child is sent home with assessments of their abilities on each sport and activity. This is shared with the parents and physical educator to increase understanding of their current abilities.
