MY EXPERIENCE AT CNIB LAKE JOE: A CAMP LIKE NO OTHER FOR BLIND INDIVIDUALS

Suleman wearing sunglasses, a cap, and a blue Hurley hoodie stands on the grassy shore of a lake with a calm expression. Behind him, people are enjoying the water, some wading near the shore while others kayak or use floating platforms. A blue and yellow inflatable structure is visible in the distance, along with lush green trees surrounding the lake under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds.

Moving to Canada in 2022 was a big transition for me. In Pakistan, I had attended various youth leadership conferences, from YLC to Markhor and others. While these conferences were impactful, I never came across an event or camp specifically designed for blind individuals. That changed when I learned about CNIB Lake Joseph Camp in Muskoka, Ontario.
