She was awarded  a grant to begin a sports camp for the Blind and Camp Abilities was founded and has not skipped a beat. Models of the Brockport New York Camp Abilities have spread across the states and around the world. Students return year after year and you can listen to the passion and excitement on the videos available on the CampAbilities.org web site.  The Camp Abilities website has a wealth of resources for adaptive sports, and  instructional materials for teachers, parents, youth and link
