We are excited to offer a wide range of CNIB Lake Joe camp programs PLUS “Partner Programs” in collaboration with staff teams from CNIB, Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada, DeafBlind Community Services, and INCA Quebec. 

Our family programs give people with sight loss and their families an opportunity to enjoy everything Muskoka has to offer on beautiful Lake Joseph in a safe and inclusive environment. Activities are available for all ages and events just for adults, youth and kids.

Welcome to CNIB Lake Joe’s Family Programs (virtual orientation session)

Included in the program registration fee, you will be invited to a Zoom meeting to meet other families in advance, go over important details, and get answers to questions. This session will ensure you are fully prepared, so you can spend all of your time on-site at Lake Joe focused on fun, family and friends. Full details will be provided to registrants at the beginning of the season.
