Camp Helen Keller

A Summery of Wonder & Discovery

Camp Helen Keller provides children who are blind or have low vision with a summer experience that builds confidence, independence, and lifelong skills. We’re connecting with community partners, foundations, and visionary supporters who believe every child deserves to discover their full potential and the importance of formative summer experiences.

For over 70 years, our specialized summer program has created pathways to independence through adaptive activities, peer connections, and expert support. From swimming and arts to our field trips and excursions, we’ve designed every aspect of camp to nurture growth while creating unforgettable summer memories.
