About Camp Wanaqua
Camp Wanaqua is the only free summer day camp for blind and visually impaired children in the New York metropolitan area.
A place where blind or visually impaired children can unwind, unplug and engage with their peers, this summer camp will take place from July 9 - August 16, Monday - Thursday, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM on our main campus.

Providing a nurturing and supportive environment that strengthens campers self-esteem, resilience, and independence, each day campers are invited to take part in a variety of activities that in recent years have included canoeing, pony rides, indoor rock climbing, and trips to the beach.
