Day 8 – Camp Mariah
By jmarshall
Camp Mariah is a beautiful camp! It has a huge dining hall overlooking a lake. Camp Mariah is a 3 week program and requires a 3 year commitment. They take classes like filmmaking and chess, and even have a Career Center where they do mock interviews and learn how to apply for jobs. We switched up jobs after lunch and I got to learn how to run surface jobs on Eyevan! Mariah is the only camp where we get to actually dispense glasses. The rest of the campers get their glasses on the day they leave. Nissa, Dr. Bill, and I got to run the dispensing table and make any adjustments any of the kids needed. It was so great to see the look on their faces when they could finally see! The kids were so grateful that we were there and that they received the gift of sight!
