Enchanted Hills Camp 2022 Registration is Now Open!

Enchanted Hills Camp 2022 Registration is Now Open!

Hello Enchanted Hills Camp Community,

The LightHouse for the Blind is excited to enter our 72nd year at EHC, and we are proud to once again return to a variety of sessions that will benefit hundreds of campers in our community. The guiding principles of Enchanted Hills Camp is to promote independence, community and have fun. Hopefully you will gain lifelong friendships, and feel the “blind positive” atmosphere that camp strives to create. This is a place where campers have claimed they have had the time of their lives.

Enchanted Hills is an experience that so many look forward to having every year — and though our camp has been closed recently due to COVID-19 restrictions we’ve taken steps to enrich this summer so that all campers will still enjoy the beauty of our location safely and with a supportive staff.

Let’s have the best summer ever!

Tony Fletcher, senior director of Enchanted Hills Camp
