Camp Abilities Delaware (CADE) is an educational sports camp for children ages 8-17 who are blind or have low vision located in northern Delaware. CADE is an overnight camp experience that introduces children to a variety of sports, including cross-country running, field events, golf, 5-a-side, soccer, team building, lacrosse, beep kickball, rugby, football, boating, and dance. The purpose of the camp is to empower children to be physically active, improve their overall health and wellness, encourage them to make food choices that support an active lifestyle, and develop their confidence and self-esteem through sport and physical activity. Camp is offered to athletes free of charge in order to provide services to the broadest range of participants. Camp is entirely funded from grants and private donations. Since children receive 1:1 instruction throughout camp, costs of the program include room & board for sufficient staffing in addition to costs per child. 1:1 coach allows for appropriate modifications to sport, as well as increased safety and empowerment opportunities. Camp also serves as an educational training program for college students studying physical education, PT, OT, and special education, so students can learn to better serve their blind and visually impaired students in the future.
