We at Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind hope you’re excited about coming to Camp Tuhsmeheta or one of our new Camp-in-a-Box programs this summer!  We have lots of great activities planned for you at Camp T and at other places around our great state of Michigan .  But before you start dreaming about all the cool stuff we’re going to be doing at Camp T in the SUMMER of 2012, we still have a great event planned for  SPRING!

First, though, we want you to know that our Snow Much Fun was a blast – we even had snow!  We saw and heard trumpeter swans and many other birds, and made owl calls – and an owl called back to us three times!  We made great food, and explored a lot about how animals and insects survive the winter.

Gardening and Spring Birding Weekend is coming up May 11-13, 2012 when we put in the garden and listen for the earth waking up. If you are interested in coming to camp to help us put in the garden and explore the wildlife there, plus get in some crafting, canoeing and campfire time, please contact OUB Director, Gwen Botting, at gwen@campt.org.  Gardening and Spring Birding Weekend is a family event – everyone can get in on the fun!

Registration forms for all OUB CAMPS are available on this website!

The next event is Michigan Parents of Children with Visual Impairments Family Camp.  You can find more information and registration forms for this camp by going to www.mpvi.org and looking for the Spring 2012 Newsletter.  It will be a fabulous weekend for families who have children who are visually impaired or are blind, and you don’t have to be a member of MPVI to participate.  We’d love to have you come!

Here is an abbreviated schedule for the rest of the summer – please be patient as we are still working on this – and on our website!
