NEEDED: YOUR SUPPORT!
The goal of the Georgia Lions’ Camp for the Blind is to provide a residential camping experience for blind and visually impaired individuals residing in Georgia. Though full utilization is made of staff and facilities, a recreational emphasis is placed on social, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth. It is the function of the staff member through the small group living process, to aid in the achievement of the following objectives:

  • to foster positive self-concept development of campers
  • to provide the opportunity for social interaction and the development of social skills
  • to foster the desire for participation in all camp activities
  • to develop in campers, a sense of responsibility and respect for others
  • to provide the opportunity to develop a more positive attitude toward their disability
  • to enable the camper to learn to accept ways of competing and cooperating with others
  • to stimulate in campers greater independence, self reliance, resourcefulness, and initiative
  • to help the camper learn new skills and to explore one’s individual abilities
  • to encourage participation in, and shared responsibilities of a democratic society
  • to provide opportunities for understanding and appreciation through an awareness of the natural surroundings
  • to aid the camper to achieve self-realization, self fulfillment and personal identity and have fun!!

All contributions are greatly appreciated and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Camp for the Blind.
