Never a Loss of Vision

Never A Loss of Vision is a registered 501c3 organization whose primary program is Camp Abilities Tucson sports camp for individuals with visual impairments, deafblindness, and multiple disabilities including visual impairment. Our mission is to advocate for increased health and quality of life for people with blindness and low vision through educational health and physical activity programming.

Camp Abilities Tucson is an evidence-based overnight educational sports camp for children and young adults ages 7 and older who are visually impaired, blind, deafblind, or have multiple disabilities including visual impairment.

The goals of Camp Abilities Tucson are to:

• Empower young people with visual impairments to be physically active;
• Improve participants' overall health and wellness, both at camp and through their lifespan;
• Encourage participants to make food choices that support an active lifestyle; and
• Develop independence, confidence, and self-esteem through sport and physical activity.
  

Camp introduces participants to a variety of sports, including swimming, strength training, horseback riding, blind soccer, beep baseball, goalball, golf, and hiking. Participants benefit from high staff to athlete ratios during all physical activities and events. Camp Abilities Tucson is funded primarily through grants and donations.
