EHC Changes Lives
“I’ve been going to EHC since I was five years old. I have made a lot of friends over the years – other teens who are blind or visually impaired, and I’ve had the chance to be independent and explore new things. I’ve learned so many skills and have grown so much as a person.” - Denise, former camper and EHC Counselor

Enchanted Hills Camp (EHC) is located on 311 acres on Mount Veeder just 10 miles west of Napa California. Its tranquil setting has enhanced the lives of blind and visually impaired campers for over five decades.
In 2009, 405 blind and visually impaired campers and their families attended EHC sessions, including long-time camper, Joyce Cid who says, “People leave EHC and go home not only with lifelong friendships, but also the confidence to accomplish new tasks and overcome challenges.”
Not only has Joyce been a camper for many years, but she has also helped us raise funds, allowing other youth and adults have the unique EHC experience. We are so grateful to Joyce and our many other friends who help keep EHC vital, year after year.

“I am so grateful to the LightHouse and Enchanted Hills Camp. Family camp was the first time in ten years I didn’t know what to do with myself because my kids could be independent. They played and were actually part of the group! EHC gave them the freedom to grow and run and be kids.” – Danielle, Family Camp Session participant
