Being visually impaired does not mean having to give up enjoying Mother Nature. But in fact, one in five Americans is not able to experience the outdoors because of a disability that restricts their access.
The mission of Camp Big Sky is to provide accessible fishing, camping, boating and other outdoor experiences to children and adults with disabilities.
Formerly "Why Not Now? Inc.", officials with the Fulton County organization announced a new name and new website today to help kick off their 2008 camping season.
The camp features all kinds of amenities that cater to those with disabilities.
Once you see a person catch their first fish for the first time in their life, you will be hooked.
Executive Director Brad Guidi said, "That is our pay. To see the first fish, or go for the first boat ride or hear a coyote around the campfire. It is truly a blessing to see that happen."
The not-for-profit organization was first incorporated in May 2000.
