At the Lions of Illinois Foundation we believe no one should be excluded
from activities simply because of a vision or hearing impairment.
Camp Lions Youth Camp began in 1957 at the urging of Lions members who wanted to give children with vision and/or hearing impairments a summer camp with their peers. Today, Camp Lions hosts three sites in Illinois where over 13,000 youth with vision and hearing impairments have met, made new friends, and participated in fun, challenging activities.
In 1993 The LIF established the Helen Keller Adult Camp, for visually & hearing impaired campers age 18 & older. This program came as a response to meet the needs of individuals served by the Department of Rehabilitation Services Deaf/Blind Services and other advocates of visually & hearing impaired adults in Illinois. It is the only camp program of it's kind in the Midwest. Eligible adults have the opportunity to relax & particpate in activities in the great outdoors, while still being in an accessible environment. The Helen Keller Adult Camp is a great place to meet other individuals with similiar life experiences.
