We Serve! Our mission is to improve the lives of the visually impaired and our local community members, with a special focus on outdoor recreation.

We provide services and support for vision health in our local area. Operate and maintain the McHenry Community Park, with a historical, interpretive trail system; a ball baseball/softball field; a dog park; and other amenities. Our club serves the Deep Creek Lake, MD area and we run two major programs - the Blind Skiers and Blind Skiers which provide visually impaired children with the opportunity to experience outdoor recreational activities they may not otherwise have access to. We also provide services and support for vision health in our local area. In addition, we operate the McHenry Community Park, with a historical interpretive trail system, a dog park, and typical park amenities. To support these activities, we hold fundraisers like the Boat Parade and Poker Cruise, as well as accepting donations of donated boats and other recreational gear. At the 1925 International Convention of Lions, Helen Keller challenged the collected delegates to become “Knights of the Blind” and “to make the lives of the blind more worthwhile everywhere by . . . giving them the joy of normal activity.” For a few weeks each year for over three decades, the Deep Creek Lake Lions have done just that by bringing students from the Maryland School for the Blind to the Deep Creek Lake area to enjoy activities that most fully-sighted property owners take for granted.

Our pavilion at the Deep Creek Lake Lions Club Park on Bumble Bee Road has become a colorful outdoor gallery!

These unique woven creations were made by visually impaired participants in our Blind Skier and Blind Camper programs. Each piece reflects the creativity, personality, and experiences of the young people who take part in these programs.

Stop by the park to see the display for yourself and explore the other artwork created by our participants over the years. We are proud to share their creativity with the community and celebrate what they accomplish both on and off the slopes.
