OWL Summer Camp

OWL campers learn to kayak.Oklahomans Without Limitations (OWL) Summer Camp is one of our most popular programs for children and youth; a free, week-long camping experience for children ages 8-18 who are blind or vision impaired.  OWL Camp began in 2000 and draws 50-60 campers each July. Each camper is teamed a sighted peer counselor who provides encouragement, assistance and friendship.

Camp activities are carefully planned and designed to encourage collaboration, improve confidence, self-esteem and independence, and challenge societal and self-imposed limits through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities in an accessible environment. The focus is on capability rather than disability.

OWL campers stage a production after coaching from the Oklahoma City Ballet.New activities are added each year to keep things new and challenging for returning campers. Camp favorites have included: swimming, Beep-ball, fishing, archery, arts and crafts, martial arts, shopping trips, basketball, hay rides, rock climbing, kayaking and dragon boat rowing on the Oklahoma River, and an annual talent show.
