Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Indoor Sky Diving
Saturday, February 2

During the 2018 and 2019 school years, the LightHouse’s Youth Program will be hosting monthly extreme recreation activities and adventures for youth that are blind or have low vision. Those that sign up for these monthly outings will have opportunities to make new friends, meet mentors and develop life skills that will help them be successful in other aspects of life - all while enjoying the wonderful recreation options that the Bay Area and surrounding areas have to offer.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to fly? Well, in February the Lighthouse Youth Extreme Recreation Adventures program will head to iFLY in Union City to learn how to do just that. This is your chance to experience the power of flight without a plane, parachute, or risk jumping off something. It’s just you, a smooth cushion of air, and a sense of freedom you’ve never known.
Our flight lesson for 10 youth between the ages of 14 and 26 that are blind or have low vision is scheduled for Saturday, February 2nd from 1:00pm to 3:00 pm at iFly in Union City. Thanks to the generosity of the Sadie Meyer and Louis Cohn Foundation this program is being offered at a discounted rate of only $20.00 per person. If you are interested in signing up for this outing or have any questions, please contact Jamey Gump at (415) 694-7372 or youth@lighthouse-sf.org.
