Enchanted Hills Camp is a place where blind and low vision people of all ages come together for adventure, independence, friendship, and community. Nestled among the redwoods of Mt. Veeder in Napa, EHC has been bringing campers together since 1950.

Our Story

The story of the land that Enchanted Hills Camp (EHC) calls home began long before the founding of camp. We acknowledge and pay respect to the Indigenous peoples who have gathered on, cared for, and maintained relationships with this land for generations. We are grateful to be part of the continuing story of this special place and recognize that EHC is only one chapter in a much longer history of people gathering here in community.

Since 1950, Enchanted Hills Camp has been a place of adventure, independence, and community for blind and low vision people. Founded by Rose Resnick, a blind musician, educator, and advocate, EHC was created as a place where blind children and adults could experience the outdoors, build confidence, develop independence, and connect with others in the blind community.

Those interested in learning more about Rose Resnick and the beginnings of EHC can explore her book, Dare to Dream. In it, Rose shares her own remarkable story, including the journey that led to finding and establishing Enchanted Hills Camp and creating a place that generations of blind and low vision people have since called their own.

The Summer Camp Experience

Summer camp at Enchanted Hills offers countless opportunities for growth, friendship, and adventure. Whether hiking a wooded trail, paddling across the lake, or performing a skit with friends, campers of all ages build lifelong memories, skills, and confidence in an environment that celebrates independence and connection.

Each summer, EHC comes alive with a wide range of sessions designed for different ages, interests, and support needs. From young campers eager to explore the camp environment, to teens developing leadership skills, and adults deepening community connections or discovering new passions — there is something for everyone at Enchanted Hills.

Camper Perspective

From a family of a youth camper that also has participated in Family Camps said “EHC is a deeply special place for our family. It was the first place where our son felt like he instantly belonged. We love it because it’s a caring, supportive community designed by and built for the visually impaired. We look forward to spending time at EHC every chance we get, knowing our child joyfully grows braver each and every time, surrounded by people he feels safe and encouraged by.”

From a “Proud mother of three amazing children with special needs” who has attended Little learners and other family camps sessions for many years

“We first visited EHC in 2019, and we immediately fell in love with the beautiful atmosphere, wonderful people, and AMAZING food. Our family especially enjoyed horseback riding, swimming, and simply relaxing together surrounded by the peaceful, fresh forest.

“We returned to EHC after the fire in 2024 with all three of our kiddos, and we were so happy to see the camp again. With the new buildings and remodeling, EHC looks even more beautiful and welcoming!

“Everyone makes us feel so welcome, and coming back to EHC brings so many wonderful memories for our family. The fact that it is only about two hours from our home makes it even more special.

“If you have never experienced EHC, don’t miss out! It is truly one of the BEST experiences our family has ever had. We are so grateful for this special place and the wonderful people who make it feel like home.”

Beyond Summer

When summer sessions end, the Enchanted Hills Napa (EHN) team transforms the space into a year-round retreat center, hosting corporate gatherings, weddings, conferences, and events for groups, families, fellow nonprofits and community organizations. These rentals help sustain and expand the programs that make EHC such a special place for the blindness and low vision community.
