camp. The Summer Olympics camp in Ross County took advantage of activities
available near the local community and transportation was provided by the Pioneer
Center, a school for children with developmental disabilities. The campers enjoyed
a trip to the local bowling alley and also to Canters Cave 4-H camp, where they
had access to a variety of outdoor activities. The Canters Cave trip was such a hit
with the campers and instructors, that this year, the 4-H camp served as the site for
the entire week of camp, including a 1-night sleep over. The Summer Fun camp in
Butler County had a camp theme of planning a party and the campers planned the
menu, took the local bus to the grocery store to buy the food, created invitations
and prepared the food to enjoy with families at a special lunch on the last day of
camp. Each camp incorporated a variety of activities related to the ECC for
children who are blind/visually impaired or Deaf/hard of hearing.
