One week on from Deafblind Camp and we’re still riding the high.😃
From flying fox firsts to disco fun, big laughs, shared experiences and new connections. Last week was a jam-packed week with so much energy, fun and people getting involved in their own way.
From trying something new, getting up on stage or soaking up the atmosphere there was something for everyone.
Across the week, people also built new skills and tried different ways of connecting and navigating the world. From exploring techniques like tapping to support mental health and wellbeing, to hands-on orientation and mobility workshops creating tactile maps from everyday items.
There was a strong focus on experiences that were tactile in nature and accessible for all, where communication worked, the environment worked, and people could participate fully in their own way.
As camper Melinda said of her favourite activity "Just actually meeting people. I can't really say exactly one experience, I just like the community vibes - that everybody is so understanding of people who can't hear or can't see. So you don't even have to set up and explain everything. You're just there having fun."
We’re not sure about you but we are feeling like take us back to DB Camp. Safe to say the memories are sticking around for a while!
