Learn About The Carroll Center Summer Programs for Youth
We’re excited to share several upcoming opportunities for families and caregivers of visually impaired youth ages 8–25 to learn more about the Carroll Center for the Blind’s summer programs.
Join any of the sessions below to hear directly from our expert staff about the programs your child can take part in this summer. Each session offers a different way to learn, ask questions, and connect with our team.

Families are invited to take part in a fun, hands-on blindfolded breakfast experience designed for the whole family. This in-person event offers opportunities to build practical skills that support independence and confidence, connect with other families, tour our classrooms and dorms, and learn more about our summer programs.
