VIP (Visually Impaired Persons) Camp

From the Rotary Club of Remuera Inc's club bulletin:

The VIP Camp was held at the YMCA’s Camp Adair, Hunua from the evening of 8th April until Sunday 10th April. David Willmott read excerpts from a number of letters he had received from participants and their supporters of which the following comments are a small selection. The letter from the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind said the camp was an outstanding experience. Other comments referred to how relaxed and confident the students were; the have ago attitude of the participants; how much the students loved the confidence course including the mud; what a great social occasion it was and the pleasure of meeting other students with similar disabilities; and of course the food was great and mentioned several times. The comment that summed up the overall feel of the event was the one regarding starting “early” on Friday next time to extend the wonderful experience.
