SUNY Brockport to host 30th anniversary of sports camp for children with visual impairments

Camp Abilities, the educational sports camp for children with visual impairments or deaf-blindness, will kick off its 30th annual camp at SUNY Brockport from June 29 to July 5, 2025. The goal of the camp is to provide one-on-one instructional situations for each camper. The camp will welcome 43 campers and over 55 dedicated coaches from around the world, including two Paralympians serving as camp role models.

This year’s camp will feature multiple sports and activities many campers have never participated in before, including blind tennis, goalball, stand-up paddleboarding, and more. On July 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:45 p.m., Camp Can Do will welcome athletes between the ages of four and seven, who are not old enough to attend the full camp, for a one-day camp where they will participate in the same activities as the campers. Campers will also march in the July 4th parade that goes through the village of Brockport starting at 10 a.m. There, they will showcase their tandem biking with both two- and seven-person bikes.

Camp Abilities continues to make an impact around the globe, offering camps in multiple countries around the world. International students from Switzerland, Iceland, Bangladesh, and Australia will take part in training that will help them direct their own camps outside of the United States.
