State Services for the Blind and the Lighthouse Center for Vital Living collaborated with Wilderness Inquiry to offer a unique camping and canoeing experience for Pre-ETS students at Interstate State Park, Minnesota. This initiative aimed to empower blind and low-vision youth by enhancing their independence, self-advocacy, and teamwork skills. Participants engaged in a range of outdoor activities, including setting up tents, canoeing on the St. Croix River, and exploring hiking trails, all while learning valuable skills for navigating the outdoors. This inclusive event showcased the possibilities of outdoor recreation for individuals of all abilities, inviting more people to explore the natural world.   To find out more about the services provided at State Services for the Blind, and what they can do for you, contact Shane DeSantis at [email protected] or 651-385-5205.   Full Transcript
