Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind was created for the exact purpose that is its name. To create and foster unlimited opportunities for blind and partially sighted people throughout Michigan and the world.  This organization, comprised mainly of blind adults who have a passion for blind youth, was created in 1994.  As the presence of the Michigan School for the Blind began to greatly diminish it became apparent that additional mentoring, leadership and education were vital to ensure that the blind youth of today would grow into successful competent blind adults.

Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind first worked as a sort of PTA or secondary voice at Camp Tuhsmeheta.  This organization provided some guidance and funds, however, as the School for the Blind became less and less interested in the camp, OUB began to have more and more influence.  The people who founded this organization knew the importance of camp and how much of a life changing experience it is.  They longed to see the youth of today experience and grow from the same experiences they had as children. 

It is said that we are truly alive when we do what we love and OUB’s love came alive at camp T.  In the summer of 2004, after the camp sat unused during the summer of 2003, OUB was finally allowed complete responsibility for the camp.  OUB gained the opportunity to implement longer camping sessions, hire a large number of blind role models as counselors and support staff and steer the camp program into a bright, determined and promising future.
