Camp Abilities
Camp Abilities Australia is a fun and inclusive multi-day summer camp where young people who are blind or have low vision come together to be active, try adapted sports, build confidence and make new friends in a safe and supported environment.
This will be the first Camp Abilities in Australia and we aim to establish more camps in other areas in the future.
Believe you can achieve!
