Eight young athletes
from Maine and New Hampshire gathered in Waterville, Maine on June 18-21 to participate
in a diverse assortment of individual and group sports that were both challenging
and FUN!

2025
was the 10th Anniversary of MOBALE Sports Education Camp (SEC) and
this year followed the concept and practice of creating an experience where
youth who are blind and visually impaired can explore new sports and physical
activities, learn how to adapt equipment, rules, and playing fields to make
them accessible, safe and FUN! In addition to participating in sports, athletes
gained skills of independence in personal management during meals, travel, and “cabin
time” as well as social and self-advocacy skills as they interacted with other
athletes, camp counselors, and the staff of the Alfond Youth and Community Center
and Camp Tracy.
WHAT DID WE DO? Can you believe . . . Soccer,
Kickball, Swimming, Track & Field, Yoga, Wrestling, Archery, Disc Golf,
Functional Fitness AND GOALBALL! Scroll down to see some photos of us!
We were very privileged to have fabulous volunteer counselors, Adria, Sheila, Jordan & Cheryl. Also, we were so proud to have counselors who were visually impaired, Izzy, Kyle, & Derek, who presented themselves as great role models for the young athletes. This year, we also had outstanding Junior Counselors, Gavin & Tyler, both former MOBALE athletes.
