Shelly, where is the camp?  I might consider going sometime.  Washington isn’t far away as I am in the State of Oregon, as I think you know.

Hey,

Where is your camp at, and what kinds of activities do you have? It sounds like mine with the wide age span. We have a few young tweens and teens a few twenty something and quite a few older adults. We have almost no teens. here in Washington state there are several good summer programs for academic teens so most of them go to those. Our camp also has a wide range of disabilities. I'd say that out of the 35 campers there were ten or less with only blindness.

I can relate to Mike. I have huge chalenges with directional orietntation. Ellie and I spend half our time lost and over half of those times are my fault LOL.

Shelly,

 

I loved your comments about camp.  We have a similar holiday coming up, on a smaller basis, with less activities.  It's from Monday to Friday, 3-7 July.  I shall be helping, but feel right now that I need a lot of help even to move around.  I'll tell you how I get on also.

 

Ah, I'm so glad Ellie was such a help to you!  I have known that too over past years.  This time I will be helping my retired twelve year old guide dog around.  He will have to come because he can't stay home alone, can he!  At present though he's walking as badly as I am so we'll be quite a pair.  My husband, Mike, will also come with his guide dog Roxy.  Rox is bright but Mike finds mobility (directionally) very difficult, so we need the four of us together to do any good at all!  <SMILE>

 

There are a number of people coming who don't know Jesus and the age range is between 20 and 87 years old.  Half are visually impaired and many of those have other disabilities.  One is totally deaf-blind and others cannot hear well.  Some have mental health issues.  Last year I was up most of one night with one of these ladies.

 

Thanks for your account.  Love:
