The Maryland School for the Blind's Camp Abilities is a week-long overnight sports education camp for athletes ages 9-17 who are blind or visually impaired. The camp is part of The Maryland School for the Blind Outreach's summer program and serves proximity 35 athletes each year. Our mission at The Maryland School for the Blind’s Camp Abilities is to provide students from across the state (and neighboring states) with an authentic and educational opportunity to participate in a variety of sports, health-enhancing activities, and social opportunities that they can continue after their week of camp. We strongly promote independence and self-advocacy throughout the week and encourage them to socialize and develop strong relationship with peers that will last a lifetime.
