Youth Session invites campers entering 1st grade through 8th grade to spend a week discovering new interests, building confidence, and having camp all to themselves. With EHC dedicated entirely to youth during this session, campers enjoy the freedom to explore new activities in a safe, supportive environment while bonding with peers their own age.
The session begins with Cabin Day, where each cabin group rotates through a variety of camp activities so campers can get a feel for everything EHC has to offer. This helps them make informed choices when selecting their personal schedule for the rest of the week. From swimming, horseback riding, campfires, drama, arts and crafts, and music to adaptive sports, nature exploration, and more, campers design a week that reflects their interests and hobbies—and gain independence along the way.
Youth Session is also a place where skills grow naturally through mentorship and community. Blind and low-vision staff and counselors model confidence, creativity, and problem-solving, while peers encourage one another to try new things and take on new challenges. Whether it’s navigating a trail, paddling a boat, performing at a talent show, or simply joining new friends for a meal, campers build practical skills, self-advocacy, and pride in who they are.
Most importantly, Youth Session is where lifelong friendships begin. Campers head home with memories that last well beyond the summer and return year after year to reconnect with the community that feels like home.
