Sensing the Seasons: Outdoor Education Retreats at EHC

Starting this November, the LightHouse Youth Program will be heading up to beautiful Enchanted Hills Camp for our new quarterly weekend nature themed retreats. "Sensing the Seasons" weekends will be filled with lots of learning opportunities for you and your blind and low vision friends to observe the changing of the seasons and how it impacts the natural habitats of EHC. In addition to seeing friends, participants will gain a great appreciation of the area by learning about the flora and fauna, the natural history of the majestic Mayacamas Mountain Range and the native people of Napa.

The program curriculum has been packed full with hands on and thought provoking activities and opportunities for blind and low vision students to learn and develop many skills from the Expanded Core Curriculum from WOLF School Naturalist Academy and experienced LightHouse for the Blind and Low Vision mentors. The Expanded Core Curriculum concepts that are addressed during these ongoing retreats include: independent living skills, orientation and mobility, sensory efficiency, self-determination, social interaction skills and recreation and leisure.
