CAMPS

After three successful Youth Vision Camps in the last two years, Blind Sports NSW is now in a position to provide offset funding from NSW Office of Sport and National Disability Insurance Scheme in continuation of this program.
Funding offset will be offered to students with blindness and vision impairment to attend a range of camps designed to increase awareness of sporting opportunities while building strong peer relationships to achieve a higher sense of accomplishment relating to sport and physical activity.
A variety of sports and activities are offered during the camps including but not limited to; AFL, athletics, basketball, cricket, goalball, golf, futsal, hockey, rugby league, rock climbing, surfing, swimming, t-ball, tennis and ten pin bowling.
These are combined with social interaction events including games night, trivia night, disco night and peer group forums.
2026 AUTUMN VISion CAMP
Blind Sports NSW held its Autumn Vision Camp during the school holidays at Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre, supported by the NSW Office of Sport.
The camp provided participants who are blind or have low vision with the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting activities, including biking, canoeing, the alpine coaster and other outdoor recreation experiences.
This is a great opportunity for participants to step out of their comfort zone, try new activities in a fun and inclusive environment, develop new skills and meet other campers from all over NSW to make friends for life!
