Camp Abilities Brockport is a one week developmental sports camp for children who are visually impaired, blind, or deafblind. The camp is set up to provide a 1:1 instructional situation for each child.
Our counselors are pooled from physical education and special education undergraduate and graduate programs across the U.S., and overseas. Since our first summer we have had more than 90 counselors per summer, and we have trained more than 800 future teachers in the area of sport and recreation for children with sensory impairments. Many of our specialists are blind themselves, and serve as excellent role models for our children, some of whom have never met or socially interacted with another person who is blind.
In its fourteenth year, Camp Abilities Brockport, held on the campus, offers a one-week, comprehensive, developmental sports camp for children between the ages of 9 to 19 who are visually impaired, blind, or deafblind. The camp provides a 1:1 instructional situation for each child. Since our first year, we have served more than 50 children a year with visual impairments. They vary in socioeconomic status, ethnic background and level of skills and abilities.
Camp Abilities is a sponsored program at The College at Brockport, State University of New York. Neither Camp Abilities Brockport nor The College at Brockport has any affiliation, association or sponsorship of the Illinois Spina Bifida Association (ISBA).
