Enchanted Hills Camp Virtual Teen Session

Jul 21
We’re hosting a virtual teen session at Enchanted Hills Camp! Tell your friends, tell your classmates, tell any people you know who are blind or have low vision between the ages of 14 and 20, because we’re trying to make sure you all have an excellent session.
Join us daily July 16 through July 25 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for good vibes, great company, and another magical (but totally unusual) summer of EHC.
During the virtual session, you’ll have access to Zoom in to multiple virtual activities a day. We’ve done our part to come up with some cool activities and to schedule everything in the afternoon and evening, so you don’t even have to choose between participating and sleeping in - genius, we know. Now, all we need is for you to join us. You’re not obligated to participate in every activity, every day, but we would love for you to drop in for as many as you can.
Contact Alyah Thomas at athomas@lighthouse-sf.org for a full schedule of events for the session.
The events for the upcoming week are read aloud on our event hotline every Friday, which can be accessed by calling 415-694-7325. For more information about visiting the Adaptations Store, head to our shop page.
