Bell Academy and Summer Camps

BELL Academy (link)

The NFBV Braille Enrichment for Literacy & Learning (BELL Academy) offers children ages 4–12 fun, hands-on activities that build Braille and other nonvisual skills. It supports blind and low-vision students who need more Braille instruction than they receive in school or who benefit from summer enrichment. Along with crafts, games, and field trips, children learn key independence skills and engage with blind and low-vision adult mentors.

Super Summer Camp

The Super Summer Camp is a free, week-long program for students ages 8 through completion of 10th grade, offering activities like goalball, horseback riding, swimming, and independent living skills. Campers must be able to handle personal hygiene, move independently, benefit from activities, and be registered with DBVI Education Services.
