CHILDREN’S ART/RECREATON PROGRAM FOR BLIND/VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN

On March 3, 2007 the NJ Blind Citizens Association/Camp Happiness started an art program for blind/visually impaired children. This groundbreaking program incorporates recreation and socialization components that are very important to the children.

Our instructor has a bachelor's degree in art, and a masters in mobility and orientation. She also has a blind child.
