MONTCALM COUNTY, MI - Dawson Beatty, a 10th grade student at Waverly High School, said he’s been a repeat attendee at Camp Tuhsmeheta “so many times, I can’t remember.”

Beatty is one of over 700 teens who attended West Michigan’s Camp Tuhsmeheta, otherwise known as “Camp T,” last year. At approximately 300 acres, the West Michigan camp provides primarily low-cost programming for blind/low vision and deaf/hard of hearing campers and their families.
