Summer was a happy time at Junior Blind thanks to the support of friends like you. We're pleased to share snapshots from several of our kids' activities!
The students of Junior Blind's Special Education School beat the heat with a little water play this summer. Water play can be a relaxing and fun way for children with multiple disabilities to explore their senses.
Participants of the Junior Blind's Summer Enrichment Program explored their musical talents by experimenting with a variety of instruments in the Fradene and Morris J. Pollack Music Room.
The sky was the limit for children who are blind or visually impaired at Junior Blind's Camp Bloomfield. Campers built confidence and discovered their strengths by participating in activities, like ropes courses and archery.
The Lucy Elizabeth Shumway Aquatic Center at Junior Blind was in full use this summer. Children from the Summer Enrichment Program, Children's Residential Program and Special Education School all enjoyed the therapeutic benefits the pool offers.
The children of the Summer Enrichment Program built a garden with exciting results. They grew strawberries, bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and a variety of herbs.
The Special Education School teachers integrated a Hawaiian theme into their lessons, helping students achieve their goals for the day and have fun at the same time.
Even the youngest campers at Camp Bloomfield overcame their fears and tried new activities. Thanks to encouraging camp staff, children who are blind or visually impaired discover how much they're able to achieve.
