Hello Aishwarya, >From my limited knowledge:
Music - They can learn from anywhere or access music from youtube etc. just like any able bodied person using screen readers on computers Dance - I learnt a bit from Shaimak Davar institutes. They are more cooperative and experienced. Readings - Bookshare.org, livrebox for audio books, for Braille and audio books NAB Delhi and NAB Vorli, Mumbai Craft - Not commercially rewarding, but people with not very high qualifications can go for NAB workshop or NAB rehabilitation at Mahalaxmi, Mumbai. There are many centers who are teaching employment skills in computer trainings and physic therapy. Sports - In Mumbai, we do have chess and cricket competitions. Audio games - Namely, Papa Sangre. Not very assuming though on iPhone. Audio movies - I think you mean to ask about audio descriptive movies. You do get them online. More relevant for Hollywood movies. Some I've heard are: Titanic, wedding crashers etc. They do it very well. Can you be pleased more specific about camps, institutions? Like for trekking Young Zingaroh and Kalpvihar take Vis along. Just a last request, please try to make newly blind feel less marginalised. I mean, all things catering to special needs of blind are fine, but they should not feel less confident to make room for themselves in mainstream facilities. I could do that with Shamak Davar, swimming, trekking, and marathon running with bit of adjustments and of course great help of scores of kind people.
