Lions Youth Camps
Vision Impaired Camp
2025 Information coming soon
Camp has ALWAYS been free for the camper!
History
Lions Youth Camp for children who are blind or visually impaired began in 1982. For over 40 years we have devoted ourselves to helping children who are visually impaired have amazing experiences.
We provide a week of traditional fun and camp activities. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for eligible youth to share a week of fun with their peers. We hope to promote self-confidence, teamwork, and self-reliance. We aim to challenge the campers through activities to encourage personal growth.
In short, fun with a purpose!
Camper Eligibility
Children ages 6 through 15 who are either blind or visually impaired.
Activities
Archery, Air Rifles, Canoes, Hiking, Arts & Crafts, Fishing, Swimming, Field Games, and much more!
2023 Theme
Each year we have a different theme for camp. This helps make every year new and exciting. The 2023 theme is “Holiday!” Campers will wake up to a new celebration each day. There will be scary adventures, egg-citing hunts, a ho-ho-ho lot of surprises, and so much more.
Campers became ceramist for the day when they molded and painted their own clay pieces.

Our staff is made up of volunteers who devote the week to helping our campers. Volunteers must come with a good attitude, ready to help our campers have an amazing week. Counselors must be 16 years or older with an acceptable background check.
Volunteers who work the full camp will be given 80 hours of service. Documentation of community service hours can be provided at the end of camp if needed.
