A Note to Parents/Guardians and Participants:
The EYE Retreat strives to provide an environment in which a simulated college experience is most realistic. We ask for your support, flexibility, and communication. If you have concerns, please let us know. If you have ideas, send them our way. If you'd like to volunteer your expertise, please sign-up! In summary, some aspects of our program simply can't be changed because of legal concerns or facility use requirements. However, other aspects of our programming can be adjusted and we have a strong track record of taking parent/guardian, staff, and participant feedback into consideration. Please remember that the EYE Retreat has no paid staff. Everyone, including myself, are volunteers. The EYE Retreat's leadership is 100% led by adults with visual impairments who want to share their knowledge, passion, and experiences to make the future of our participants successful.
Thank you,
Dr. Alan Chase
President and Director
