Providers Weekend (educators of blind and low vision)
March 27th to March 29th
Providers Weekend is a three-day professional retreat designed for providers who support people who are blind or have low vision. The weekend blends professional development, collaboration, and the unique community spirit of EHC. Participants will explore innovations in blindness services while also enjoying the natural beauty of camp through tours, campfires, hikes, and hands-on activities.
Saturday’s breakout sessions are led by experienced presenters and offer practical and engaging learning opportunities focused on the latest strategies and best practices. When not engaged in structured learning, attendees will enjoy classic camp activities, shared meals, and an evening wine tasting.
Providers Weekend welcomes TVIs, O&M Specialists, DOR Counselors, Braille Teachers, Living Skills Instructors, paraeducators, mental health providers, and others working with blind and low-vision individuals, with priority given to professionals who work directly with students who may attend EHC.
