Teen Session offers students currently in high school or who have graduated in the past few months a two-week experience designed to stretch their independence, explore new interests, and enjoy the unforgettable traditions of Enchanted Hills Camp. With a balance of recreation, skill and leadership development, friendship-building, and mentorship from blind and low-vision role models, Teen Session is a place where campers grow in confidence, self-advocacy, and community.

Week 1: Classic Camp Experience (July 20 – 26)

The first week of Teen Session gives campers the full EHC experience, filled with campfires, swimming, drama, arts and crafts, music, adaptive sports, nature exploration, and more. Teens spend their days trying new things, taking on challenges, and connecting with peers in a supportive and empowering environment. Blind and low-vision staff and counselors serve as mentors and role models, encouraging campers to build leadership skills, express themselves, and celebrate their strengths. Whether navigating a trail, preparing a skit, starring in the talent show, or simply laughing with friends in the dining hall, Week 1 fosters growth, belonging, and the magic EHC is known for.

Week 2: Teen Maker Camp (July 27 – 31)

During the second week, we switch things up from the traditional camp model by offering featured specialty programs, or tracks, that campers choose based on their interests and hobbies. Modeled after the popular Adults Makers Camp, these immersive tracks are led by skilled instructors and mentors, many of whom are blind or low vision themselves, giving teens the opportunity to build practical skills, explore passions, and create something meaningful. In addition to diving deeply into their chosen track, campers also strengthen connections with like-minded peers who share similar interests, goals, and curiosities. Campers select one specialty track for the week but still have time to enjoy other camp activities during the day, along with all-camp evening programs

Theater & Performing Arts Track: This track invites teens to explore acting, improvisation, comedy, vocal performance, movement, and creative storytelling in a supportive and expressive environment. Led by our Kiva area leader and experienced performing arts instructors, campers build confidence, collaboration, and stage presence while engaging in accessible performance activities.

Karate & Self-Defense Track: Taught by former camper and West Wind School instructor and 6 degree black belt, Anthony Dali, this track introduces teens to practical self-defense strategies and foundational martial arts skills. Campers learn techniques to increase personal safety, build situational awareness, and move confidently in a variety of environments, all adapted for blind and low-vision learners. No prior experience needed.

Woodworking & Home Maintenance Track: Inspired by the Adults Woodcraft track, this hands-on program teaches teens foundational woodworking and basic home maintenance skills. Guided by experienced blind and low-vision woodworkers, campers learn tool safety, measuring, sanding, cutting, assembly, and finishing techniques. In addition to creating a personal project to take home, participants explore simple home repair skills that build independence and confidence.

Accessible Sports Track:

This track is perfect for teens who love to move, play, and challenge themselves through sport. Led by blind and low-vision mentors and coaches, campers will explore a wide range of adaptive and traditional sports designed for athletes of all vision levels. Throughout the week, participants will build skills, confidence, teamwork, and body awareness as they try activities such as blind hockey, blind tennis, goalball, fencing, basketball, bowling, and more. Whether a camper is brand-new to adaptive sports or already passionate about athletics, this track offers an energizing, supportive space to learn, grow, and discover the many ways sports can empower and connect blind and low-vision athletes.

Teen Session brings together the best of traditional camp with the excitement of choice, creativity, and skill-building. Campers leave with new abilities, deeper friendships, and a stronger sense of who they are—and who they are becoming.

RSVP: Open Mic RSVP Link or Sabrina
From the Page to the Stage: Open Mic is a monthly, LightHouse‑style community practice space that brings people together to share and practice storytelling, public speaking, and other forms of expression and communication, including spoken word or poetry, work‑based and professional presentations, and real‑world communication, in a low‑pressure, welcoming environment. You can share, pass, pivot, or simply listen. You do not need to perform to belong.
People may share prepared work (5–7 minutes) from a wide range of genres or choose to build skills through shorter impromptu speaking prompts focused on confidence and ease in everyday, workplace, and public‑facing communication. Prepared speeches may receive optional “sandwich‑style” feedback, beginning with strengths, followed by one or two growth suggestions, and closing with encouragement. Impromptu speaking focuses on participation, confidence, and practice.
Community members are encouraged to attend the first session to share input and help shape the format and focus for the month, as we explore and make room for additional genres and forms.
