NFB Camp Enrollment Form

NFB Camp is a childcare option offered during our national convention for children ages six weeks to twelve-years-old, both blind and sighted.

The program features lessons from the NFB BELL® Academy curriculum, in addition to a variety of activities including art projects, orientation, mobility, and daily living skills training, music, movement, and mathematics.  We separate the children by age and provide activities appropriate for each age group.

Our staff is vetted through background checks, training, and experience working with blind children. We are grateful for support from our national divisions and committees, the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children, and our NFB BELL Academies.

Registration

The deadline to register for NFB Camp is June 15, 2023. After that, it will be on a “Space Available” basis.

NFB Camp fees must be paid through the online registration platform. Registration that does not include payment will not guarantee your child will have a space in camp when you arrive in Houston. If this creates a financial hardship, please contact Carla McQuillan prior to convention. Fees paid and forms filled out in advance will minimize time spent at the registration desk.

Please take a few minutes to read the Camp Rules.

Cancellation Deadline

Cancellations made prior to June 15 will result in a full refund of camp fees. After June 15, you will need to contact Carla McQuillan, who will consider extenuating circumstances.

$200 for the week
