Be with fun people
Things blind kids do at camp:

I am far from an expert on pedagogical practices for the blind. However, I do have a blind student at SeCC and we get along swimmingly. However, shooting words around a room is one thing. Often dangerous, we rarely bleed when we get hit. If I gave him a bow and arrow though, I would want more than a desk and a tie to hide behind.
When I worked at summer camp I wandered over to the blind archery area. It was interesting. About half of them were better at it than me, but that really isn't saying much.
Have a good trip?
Never mind the have a good trip question, that'll teach me not to scroll down before commenting...
I noticed that you italicized "see." Blind people actually use that word a lot. I'm not a fan of archery at blind camp, or mini golf either, for that matter, because I feel like I'm doing it for them.
