OUTDOOR life and physical activity have long been recognized as an important phase of a well-rounded life, and this is no less true for the blind than for the seeing. Various agencies for the blind, particularly those situated in metropolitan areas, have undertaken to provide for such activities through the medium of summer vacation camps. Some organizations have found it most satisfactory to maintain and finance their own camps, where only blind people are accepted. Others have solved the problem by arranging for their sightless clients to attend a vacation camp intended primarily for the seeing.
In view of the variety of facilities and activities provided by the various organizations, the Editors feel that the accompanying symposium on summer vacation camps may be of timely interest.
