NYS Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired

This summer we had the privilege of working with some very outstanding and wonderful kids. We hosted three separate 10 day programs.

Sometimes it’s hard to express all the fun that one can have here at AE. As a counselor life can be difficult and at times, even uncomfortable. Like the night that some of the kids decided they wanted to duct tape me to a chair. They didn’t say that their goal was to take me outside and give me a shower with the garden hose when I was totally incapacitated! Lisa I am holding you responsible!
We also had some great games of Lions and Zebras out in the field. Dashawn almost fell on top of a yellow jackets nest but I was able to save him in the nick of time. Few! We had some great music this summer too. Blaize brought his violin and serenaded us with Irish airs, and rock and roll. He is the only person I have ever seen play violin and sing at the same time.
