Convention Camp

 

NFBNJ Convention Camp will be available on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. This program is open to children between the ages of 2 and 12 years old and is designed to provide a safe, engaging, and supervised environment while their parents and/or guardians attend convention sessions and activities.

 

Parents and/or guardians will be responsible for paying a per child, per session fee for each of the three sessions. This fee is separate from convention registration and helps cover the cost of supervision only. The affiliate will help defray the overall cost to make participation more affordable for families. Pricing has not yet been finalized.

 

Convention Camp will only be offered if at least three children are registered for the day. Parents and/or guardians who express interest in the program will receive an invoice sent separately once costs are confirmed. Children will enjoy age-appropriate games, crafts, and social activities, and will be cared for by trusted and qualified volunteers or staff.

 

Each child must bring their own food and drinks. Parents and/or guardians are also responsible for providing any necessary personal items such as diapers, wipes, or comfort items. NFBNJ will not administer any medications during Convention Camp; it is the responsibility of the parent and/or guardian to do so. If a child requires a diaper change during a session, the parent and/or guardian will be notified and must return to handle the change.

 

If you are interested in Convention Camp, you will be able to indicate this directly in the convention registration form. Additional details, including required consent and emergency contact forms, will be shared with interested families closer to the convention. Convention Camp registration will close on September 30, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. For questions, please email convention@nfbnj.org.

Consent Agreements

Code of Conduct Agreement:

As an attendee at our convention, you not only represent yourself but also represent our greater organization. We want you to enjoy our time together and to make new friends and renew old acquaintances. Although we encourage members to socialize and have fun, the convention also provides a valuable opportunity to come together to continue the work of our organization, to learn about the important initiatives that we are involved with on local and national levels, and to plan our work for the future.

The National Federation of the Blind seeks to provide a convention environment in which diverse participants, including members, speakers, exhibitors, staff, and volunteers, may learn, network, and enjoy the company of friends and colleagues in an environment of mutual respect and professionalism. We recognize a shared responsibility to create and uphold that atmosphere for the benefit of all. Some behaviors are therefore specifically prohibited:

  • harassment or intimidation based on race, religion, ethnicity, language, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, disability, physical appearance, or other group identity
  • sexual harassment or intimidation, including unwelcome sexual attention, stalking (physical or virtual), or unsolicited physical contact
  • public drunkenness and associated behaviors (e.g., belligerence, yelling, hostility, destruction of property)

Participants are expected to abide by these rules and behaviors in all convention venues, including online arenas, social media, and social events. Participants who are asked to stop a behavior that the recipient considers hostile or harassing are expected to comply immediately. We are committed to diversity, equity, and the free expression of ideas. Please visit https://nfb.org/code-conduct for more information.

Fragrance Free Policy:

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey's goal is to be sensitive to members with perfume and chemical sensitivities who, as a result, may suffer potentially serious health consequences. In order to address this concern, members and participants at conventions and other meetings should refrain from wearing scented products, including, but not limited to perfumes, colognes, aftershave lotions, or similar products. We want to ensure full participation in all of our state-wide activities.
