In 1953, Norman Kaplan and a group of dedicated volunteers founded Junior Blind (formerly known as the Foundation for the Junior Blind) to provide recreational services for children who were blind or visually impaired. In 1958, Henry Bloomfield gave Junior Blind access to a 40-acre campsite in Malibu, California. Since then, Camp Bloomfield has served as a year-round residential camp for youth who were blind, visually impaired, or multi-disabled and their families.
