Family Activities
Outlook Enrichment hosts four inclusive family activities each year. These family activities are often the first interactions youth will have with us.
Families of blind children, as well as parents who are blind or visually impaired themselves, turn to Enrichment to provide accessible opportunities to engage in recreation opportunities and experience vision loss from the perspective of their loved ones.
Annual family events include:
- Winter – Bowling Bash
- Spring- Beep Baseball
- Summer- Field Days
- December – Holiday Fun Activities
Youth Activities
Physical activity is essential for everyone, especially kids. Studies have shown that blind children are less physically active than their peers. Once a month, we offer visually impaired young people an opportunity to get up and get moving through youth recreational adventures.
Program
Outlook Enrichment aims to provide a wide range of unique opportunities to keep visually impaired youth fit, engage in the community, and boost self-confidence.
Activities change every year to provide exposure to new and diverse experiences. Enrichment’s adaptive sports specialists lead all activities and can accommodate the various types of vision loss and a wide range of additional disabilities our youth may have.
Some of our past recreational events included Tree Top Adventures, skiing, paddle boarding, soccer, ax throwing, and more.
Other Benefits
Our activities provide social opportunities with peers their age, foster independence, and teach essential life skills. Additionally, youth develop relationships with other youth peers, providing friendship, a sense of community, and a sense of belonging that they may not have otherwise. Often, participants may be the only students in their school with vision loss, leading to isolation and loneliness.
Adult Program
In addition to our youth and family programming, we also host events throughout the year specifically for adults (ages 21+). These fun gatherings provide a great way to socialize and build community. Past events include nighttime bike rides, visiting the shooting range, and more.
Recreation Program Requirements
A nominal, non-refundable registration fee is charged when you reserve a spot. All participants must complete Image and Audio Consent and Medical & Liability Release Forms. News media or other media outlets not affiliated with Outlook Enrichment may be present at an event.
