The Madison Lions Club recently hosted Rebecca Godwin, camper at Sea and Sun Camp. Sea and Sun Camp is organized by the Biloxi Lions Club in the spring of each year. This camp is for young people who are either blind or sight impaired.
Rebecca related her positive experience with this year’s camp. She mentioned the different activities for the Friday night thru Sunday lunch adventure.
They had several times to dance, and as Rebecca, you hope not to dance into one of the white canes used by the blind, or hit someone else with your cane!
Crafts involved assembling a small wood airplane. It was a treat watching how they would hold the nail between two fingers and lightly tap with their hammer. The campers also took a clay pot, decorated it as they wished, place dirt, fertilizer, a beautiful flower and water.
Physical activities included swimming at the camp pool, kayaking and archery.
Rebecca is a wonderful young lady and our club members were impressed with her speech.
