A group of students from the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired recently got a hands-on "touch tour" of Miami Marlins Park.

The students from Lighthouse’s summer music camp got a chance to feel and explore the stadium on Thursday before the Marlins went head to head against the Washington Nationals.

The summer program gives sighted and visually impaired students a chance to work together and learn about each other. To read the full story, visit WLRN.org.
