Program Description: 

The Key Largo Outtasight clinic will host 6 or more blind or visually impaired veterans as well as 6 or more non blind or visually impaired veterans. The goal of this program is to get blind veterans out on the water to paddle while at the same time building a bond of trust and skill with a fellow non blind vet who will be guiding them.
