Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Cycle for Sight

Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Cycle for Sight


Apr 19 Apr 20

During the 2018 and 2019 school years, the LightHouse’s Youth Program will be hosting monthly extreme recreation activities and adventures for youth that are blind or have low vision. Those that sign up for these monthly outings will have opportunities to make new friends, meet mentors and develop life skills that will help them be successful in other aspects of life - all while enjoying the wonderful recreation options that the Bay Area and surrounding areas have to offer.

In April the Youth Rec program is heading to Napa for the annual Cycle for Sight fundraiser. Join your friends and EHC community as we raise money to rebuild camp after the 2017 fires. All those that register to ride or volunteer with LightHouse in some capacity during the event may also spend the evening Friday night before the event at EHC. Team LightHouse has secured a limited number of pilots and tandem bikes for our low vision and blind students. More information about the Cycle for Sight event and how to register for the event can be found in the below links.
