Enchanted Hills Camp For The Blind

The See-Through Podcast

Episode 113 | Lance discusses his visit to the Enchanted Hills Camp! Owned and managed by the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired San Francisco, the Enchanted Hills Camp and Retreat has been serving blind children, teens, adults, deaf-blind individuals, seniors, and families of the blind since 1950. Enchanted Hills has provided valuable opportunities for recreation in a fun, challenging, and accessible way. Located on 311 scenic acres on Mt. Veeder, Enchanted Hills is just 10 miles west of Napa, California.

In this episode, Lance sits down in person with Jerry Kuns, a legend both at the camp and in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jerry recounts his early experiences at Enchanted Hills, which date back to 1956, and discusses how the camp has retained much of its original character while benefiting from constant structural improvements. He also graciously shares some jokes and personal advice on living a full life with blindness.

After Jerry's interview, you'll get a chance to hear from some of the campers themselves! As part of an interactive podcasting activity that Lance hosted with teenage campers, you’ll hear two bonus interviews featuring groups of campers interviewing each other as they try out podcasting for the first time!

SEE-THROUGH is hosted by Lance Johnson. Based in New York City, Lance is a video editor living with a rare and incurable eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa (or RP for short). In most cases, RP causes legal-blindness by the age of 40. Now 33, Lance uses SEE-THROUGH as a platform to explore his inevitable future of blindness through his transparent conversations with his guests.
