We offer a recreation/vacation experience to people that may not otherwise have this opportunity.

In addition to staffing the various activities, our staff serves as sighted guides, assist meal service, van driver, boat driver, and in any other capacity that helps to insure the goal of providing a week of fun and fellowship for our guests. We are the only facility of this kind in North Carolina. Our campers range in age from 18 to 100+ years old. Jennifer worked as a counselor/intern with the above responsibilities.

Jennifer is detail oriented, responsible and a good team player. She genuinely cares for the campers assigned to her and they appreciate her very much. She interacts well with campers of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Jennifer has a warm and kind persona. She is good at anticipating the needs of our guests, a very valuable skill. She is punctual, reliable, and always happy to volunteer for extra duty. For all these reasons and more she is an important and valued member of our team. I have invited her to return. She is great with children as well. My son is a big fan of hers.
