How We Impact the Community

For decades, this has been a place where blind and low vision people discover independence, confidence, leadership, and lifelong community. Nestled on 311 acres in the Napa Valley, Enchanted Hills provides experiences that many participants never thought possible, from swimming and hiking to leadership development and employment opportunities. More than half of the camp staff are former campers, and many are blind or low vision themselves, creating a powerful culture of mentorship and possibility.

After the devastating 2017 Nuns Fire destroyed much of the camp, we undertook an ambitious rebuilding effort to restore this treasured community resource and create a more accessible, resilient campus.

To sustain our rebuilt facility and the life-changing programs it supports, we launched Enchanted Hills Napa, a mission-driven social enterprise. Through retreats, events, and facility rentals, it generates revenue that directly supports camp operations, property maintenance, and LightHouse programs hosted throughout the year.

This innovative model allows us to preserve a unique Napa Valley destination while reducing reliance on donations alone. Every event hosted here helps expand access to recreation, education, and community for blind and low vision individuals, ensuring that Enchanted Hills Camp remains a place where people can build confidence, independence, and lifelong connections.

Testimonial

My dream has always been to build this vocational training ground” for all aspects of the hospitality industry, everything from culinary to guest services. I think we can establish programs in all those facets, and then send the talent out into Napa.
