It is a fun, informational experience for students to explore what it’s like to partner with a Seeing Eye® dog.

Students will stay on campus and experience what it’s like to be in a class at The Seeing Eye. This immersive experience, including time with one of our dogs, will give them a better understanding of the skills needed to be a safe, successful guide dog user.

Students should have a significant visual impairment, be proficient cane travelers, possess age-appropriate independent travel skills, and have an interest in guide dog mobility.

There is no cost for this program — all meals, lodging, and transportation are provided.
