We Celebrate Enchanted Hills Camp at the LightHouse Gala, August 19

Members of the LightHouse Gala team walk the trails of EHC, surrounded by redwood treesThe snow from two weeks ago has melted, and while more rainstorms are brewing once again, our LightHouse Gala team made their way up to Enchanted Hills Camp on a beautiful sunny day this week. The gala will be held in August, and with just five and a half months left to go, our team of organizers traveled up Mt. Veeder to take in all the sights and sounds of camp, to draw inspiration and creativity for our Enchanted Evening Gala.

Together, the team walked the trails of EHC and toured the grounds. The wet winter months have brought new growth and greenery among the burnt trees and remaining remanence of past wildfires. The camp’s beauty and resilience is evident throughout its entire 311 acres. As construction continues on and ideas for future blueprints are being dreamt of, the foundation for a beautiful, accessible and nurturing oasis of empowerment and independence for blind, low vision, and deafblind campers is being built.

We cannot wait to share with our community the history of camp, the vision Rose Resnick had when the camp was acquired, and the dreams we aspire to bring to reality. If you would like to be part of this incredible journey, join us for An Enchanted Evening on August 19, 2023. Early-bird discounted tickets are now available on the LightHouse Gala website.
