In 2015, our Summer Experience Camp was accredited by the National Accreditation
Council for Blind and Low Vision Services (NAC) for applying best practices and delivering
services that focus on positive outcomes for our clients and meeting or exceeding industry
standards for administration and service provision. Summer Experience Camp is also licensed
by the State of Michigan.
With 21 campers from 10 states at our 2017 camp, every camper gets the chance to make
new friends, build supportive contacts and learn from others who face the same challenges
that they do each day. Because they enjoy the week so much, it is common for our 16-year-old
campers to come back when they are 17 and to apply to be a counselor when they are 18. To
us, this is the highest compliment we can receive.
Dates for 2018 Summer Experience Camp are June 23–30. The application deadline is
March 31, 2018, applications can be downloaded at leaderdog.org/clients/programs/summer-
experience-camp. For more information, contact Leader Dog's extended services department
