Vision loss doesn't stop you; there are no limits to what people could do, or where they can explore. Don't think about it twice. Take the opportunity. Meet other people and learn from them. This program helped my children come out of their shells, and learn what they're capable of. Any parent considering this program will not regret it!

Services
In the early 1920s six women formed an organization devoted to serving New Yorkers who are blind. They saw needs of people that had been overlooked by other organizations including a place with specially designed accommodations and services. The women rented a cottage in Rye, New York, where a few blind men could spend two-week stays.
