FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE―June 2, 2011

AVALON, NJ―The Helen L. Diller Vacation Home for Blind Children (The Home) begins its 2011 camp season on June 18. More than 150 blind and visually impaired children from the tri-state area will enjoy an all expense paid, one week summer vacation at the shore.

The Home, which is staffed by certified counselors and administrators, can accommodate 20 campers each week and operates for eight weeks, from mid-June to mid-August. Campers range in age from 7 to 15 years old.

“The Home provides a memorable experience for many deserving children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy a week at the beach,” said Doug Heun, Board President. “For many of them, it’s their first vacation at the shore. Not only is it enormously fun for them, but they develop strong relationships with children just like them.”
