Deaf Camp June 21-26
2009 Sertoma Deaf Camp invites children ages 8-16 who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a family member who is deaf or hard of hearing to join us in the beautiful Sauratown Mountains of North Carolina for a week of fun and adventure.

Campers will be accepted on a first come first serve basis as long as space is available. A non-refundable deposit of $50.00 made payable to Sertoma Deaf Camp is required with the initial registration form. A complete camp information packet will be mailed when this registration is received. As of 5/17/09 deaf camp is full and we are putting campers on a waiting list.

Sertoma Deaf Camp is broken up into 3 different programs:

1. Explorers for ages 8-12
These campers will explore many activities, including (but not limited to) swimming, hiking, horseback riding, team building, arts and crafts, drama/dance, horseback riding, science and nature, hiking to the top of Hanging Rock and swimming in the lake, and much more! The Explorers will stay in cabins, grouped by age.. Register now! (.pdf)

2.Challengers for ages 13-14
In addition to the activities that the Explorers group will be participating in, the Challengers will be challenging themselves with activities such as the high ropes course and archery. This group will learn some elementary outdoor living skills. The Challengers will primarily stay in cabins, but may also spend a night or two under the stars. Register now! (.pdf)

3.Adventurers for ages 15-16
The Adventurers will branch out on their own, staying in tents or similar outdoor shelters, and will enjoy some more high adventure activities such as hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, back packing, team building on the high ropes course and more. They will learn survival and outdoor living skills such as preparing their own meals over a campfire, compass and orienteering, trail building, plant identification, and more. Register now! (.pdf)

Sertoma Deaf Camp is the result of a partnership between the North Carolina 4-H program and Sertoma Clubs across North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.They have joined forces because they have a common goal; for every young person to have the opportunity to have a summer camp experience no matter what the disability may be.
