Vista Center Santa Cruz is excited to invite you to a free week-long technology summer camp! Technology is rapidly changing our world, enabling us to connect, message, and access more than we ever dreamed! This camp is a chance to ensure your student stays current on all thing’s technology, just like their sighted peers. The coolest part? Each student will receive their very own iPad and other goodies so the learning can continue long after the camp concludes!
The Technology Camp includes:
Personalized and fun training in assistive technology including iPad accessibility features, typing, common access applications, and various software skills (ie. internet search, navigation, or email).
Experience a “Day in the Life” of accessibility professionals within Silicon Valley, previous excursions include touring Google, Amazon, and Netflix.
Meet adult mentors who also have vision loss, sharing career paths and favorite technology tools
Nutritional lunches provided daily
A small group setting that is tailored to the needs of each student
Each student will learn:
Lifelong technology skills enabling them to succeed in school, career, and personal endeavors
New friendships with other students their age
Possible career paths that will inspire them to dream big and real world tips on how to achieve their own goals
We are thrilled to be offering this summer camp for the fourth year in a row! A very special thank you to the Monterey Peninsula Foundation for enabling our students to learn these vital skills!
