Youth Camp Integrated Model (YCIM)
What is YCIM?
NCBC launched the YCIM Pilot Program in 2021 to allow younger campers (typically ages 7–18 but may vary by location) to experience an integrated camp program with sighted peers.
How does YCIM work?
Following parent/guardian and camp director consultation and approval, YCIM campers may attend independently or with similar age/same-gender sighted guide assistance on scholarship through NCBC. The parents or guardians of children or youth who are legally blind are invited to contact participating camps to receive more information, as space is limited. The "one NCBC scholarship per camper per year" rule applies to YCIM program locations.
