Program Information
Prepare for a summer of learning, laughter, and empowerment! The NFB BELL® Academy helps blind and low-vision children boost their Braille skills, build independence, and discover the confidence to live the lives they want.
The NFB of Missouri can’t wait to welcome families to Kansas City and St. Louis, where your child will make friends, learn new skills, and meet blind mentors who inspire them every day.
Two programs will be offered in Missouri: St. Louis (June 8–19) and Kansas City (July 20–31), each running daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Lunch is not provided unless otherwise noted; students should bring their own. Registration is 50 dollars per child. Transportation is not provided; however, families needing assistance should contact the coordinator.
For more information or if you have any other questions, please contact Jenny Carmack.
