Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind

Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind teaches young people with little to no use of their eyes to use their other senses to plant, care for, and harvest garden vegetables and small fruits, some of which grow wild on our camp property, and then take them to the kitchen to create great meals.  Most teachers of children who are blind or have low vision do not have the time or resources to teach daily living skills like cooking to their students, and many parents are afraid to give their blind child a knife or something hot, and have no idea how to teach a blind person how to tell the difference between a desirable plant and a weed.  We do all of these things at our summer camps for children who are blind or have low vision.  Every child helps cook every day, with as much of our garden produce as possible.
