Envision brings sports to the visually impaired
In Room 128B of the Morrow Field House on the Slippery Rock University campus, Wendy Fagan, Jillian Stringfellow and Amanda Breed are planning a spring sports clinic, an event that a majority of the campers won't see.
And that would mean success for the trio.
They're doing the groundwork for the weeklong Envision Blind Sports Camp that will kick off July 19.
Fagan, an instructor in the adapted physical activity program and VIP Sports Camp and Clinic director at SRU, said, “Envision Blind Sports is a nonprofit organization. Its goal is to increase sport and physical activity for those who are blind and visually impaired.”
Envision is separate from Slippery Rock University.
The annual Envision sports camp offers more than 25 different sports each summer for campers ages 5 to 18.
Day clinics are also offered throughout the year so the attendees can reconnect with friends they met at camp, as well as give them additional opportunities to be physically active.
