For more than half a century, Camp Bowen has been a second home to its campers and a cornerstone of Canada’s Blind and Deafblind Community. For many Canadians who are blind or Deafblind, Camp Bowen is the one place where they can truly be themselves. Whether it is swimming independently for the first time or just meeting likeminded people, Bowen is a sanctuary, where blindness and Deafblindness are not barriers and campers are encouraged to reach their full potentials.
Summer Independence Camps
Camp Bowen provides fun and engaging retreats for blind and Deafblind Canadians of all ages to come together, share and learn. No matter how you like to spend your time, we have a program that’s got you covered.
