Camp Abilities, the educational sports camp for children with visual impairments or deaf-blindness, will kick off its 29th annual camp at SUNY Brockport from June 30 to July 6, 2024. The goal of the camp is to provide one-on-one instructional situations for each camper. The camp will welcome 45 campers and over 60 dedicated coaches from around the world, including two Paralympians.
This year’s camp will feature multiple sports and activities many campers have never participated in before, including beep baseball, disc golf, high ropes course, stand up paddleboarding, and more. The camp continues to innovate in its 29th year, offering blind tennis to campers for the first time. Campers will also march in the July 4th parade that goes through the village of Brockport starting at 9:30 a.m., showcasing 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 Ireland, Switzerland, Iceland, England, Canada, and Latvia will take part in training that will help them direct their own camps outside of the United States.
