In the second week of the series, participants will be assigned to a group of youth campers as a CIT. During this immersive opportunity, the participants will apply their new skills learned in the first week of the series with the support and supervision from summer Camp Counselors and experienced camp administration. Throughout the program CITs will also participate in discussions with blind/low vision leaders from the greater blind community as well as successfully employed adults about career opportunities, blindness philosophy, life hacks, and many other topics important to students as they become adults. The Summer Leadership Summit at EHC is designed for teens ages 16-18 years old who are blind or low vision and are serious about improving their leadership skills by learning to work with children in a rigorous camp setting.
