The Wisconsin Parents of Blind Children, a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Wisconsin, will hold the NFB BELL® Academy August 4-9 at UW-Stevens Point.

In addition to Braille crafts, games, and other engaging projects, children will learn vital independent living skills, interact with blind adult mentors, and enjoy field trips to sites related to the NFB BELL® Academy curriculum.

The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning (BELL®) Academy is a nationwide summer program that prepares blind and low-vision children to grow into confident and independent blind people who live the lives they want. NFB BELL® Academy provides children with Braille and nonvisual skills instruction through fun, hands-on learning activities.
