At Oceanwood Camp and Conference Center, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet the accessibility standards outlined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA.
We have designed and developed this website to be fully accessible according to the WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines. These guidelines ensure that our website is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. Some of the key features we’ve implemented include:
Text Alternatives:
All images and non-text content on the site have appropriate alt
attributes that provide text descriptions for users with visual
impairments.
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. All interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and forms, can be accessed and used without a mouse.
Color Contrast: We have ensured that all text and interactive elements have sufficient color contrast with their background to be easily readable by users with visual impairments.
Text Resizing: Users can resize text and adjust it to their preference without affecting the layout of the website.
Forms and Labels: All form elements are properly labeled and structured to be easily understood by screen readers.
Accessible Media: Video and audio content on our website includes captions, transcripts, or alternative media formats for users with hearing impairments.
Clear Language: We strive to use simple and easy-to-understand language throughout the website to support users with cognitive disabilities.
ARIA Roles: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and landmarks to help assistive technologies interpret dynamic content and navigation correctly.
While we have made significant efforts to ensure the accessibility of our website, we recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually review and update our website to ensure that we meet the evolving standards and guidelines for digital accessibility.
We are committed to improving the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our website, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your feedback will help us improve the accessibility of the site for all users.

While we strive to make the core content on our website fully accessible, some third-party content and services (such as embedded videos or external links) may not fully comply with WCAG 2.0 AA standards. We encourage third-party content providers to enhance the accessibility of their offerings.
