Youth Extreme Recreation Adventure: Rec in the Redwoods
Friday, May 3rd to Sunday, March 5th

During the 2018 and 2019 school years, the LightHouse 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.

In May, the LightHouse Youth Program will be joining friends from the Adult Health and Wellness Program for a weekend of learning, growth and fun at Enchanted Hills Camp. During this busy weekend, students will take part in a variety of fun and thought-provoking ropes course challenges and team building activities that will help them reflect on how they advocate for themselves during recreational activities and apply those advocacy skills in other aspects of life. Our adventures start during the afternoon of Friday May 3rd and will run through Sunday, May 5th.
