Island 's Summer Camp Experience !
Linda Hughes, Social Casework Supervisor; Director,
Camp Mauchatea
Starting as a weekend volunteer program for
15 children staffed by state social workers, Rhode Island 's summer
camp program for children who are blind and visually impaired is
currently in its 17th year and provides a social and recreational
camp for 50 children. The journey to secure funding, arrange accommodative
activities, hire counselors willing to work for a modest stipend,
supervise 50 children ages 6-18, and the interesting stories along
the way will be highlighted.
