Immerse Into ASL
Email Us
This exciting, 24/7 American Sign Language (ASL) immersion camp is designed for new signers who are at the beginner or intermediate level. Two different course levels will be offered, ensuring that each camper receives instruction appropriate to their skill level. We are now also offering a class for advanced hearing signers. In addition to experiencing deaf culture and history, campers will have the opportunity to explore our nation’s Capital, attend social events, and more!
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
Date of program: TBD
Program fee: $750
Who can attend: Deaf and hard of hearing students who will be in the 10th-12th grades in the fall. Hearing campers will be accepted as long as they pass our screening requirements and qualify as intermediate level or above signers.
Must show evidence that you are enrolled in a standard, local, or general high school diploma – track program with a GPA of at least 2.75. Please submit an unofficial transcript and/or letter from guidance/school counselor. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Campers are allowed to attend this camp for up to two summers. No camper will be allowed to return for a third summer.
Justification Letter for VR counselors
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) support varies by state. You may ask your VR counselor for financial assistance in camp registration fee or transportation to/from DC. You may use this justification letter with your VR counselor. Please contact us if you need further assistance obtaining the VR support.
