Vision Forward, in collaboration with Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center, was proud to host Rainbow Day Camp July 17-20, for students ages 5 to 18 who are blind or visually impaired.  Students enjoyed sports and recreational activities that were adapted specifically for youth with vision loss like swimming, kayaking, beep baseball, goalball and a variety of other recreation and wellness activities.
