Features ASL immersion opportunities for signers at any level, from beginners to fluent signers. Campers will also participate in swimming, hiking, arts and crafts, and more and learn about God’s love through morning devotions and evening worship. ASL Camp is designed for hearing campers at any signing level. Camper stay in either our cabins (bathhouse a short walk away) or our Lodges (bathrooms en suite of bedrooms) and eat most of their meals in the Dining Hall.
Campers in Deaf & ASL Camps will share lodging and all daily activities.
Age groupings & housing will be determined based age-level and registration numbers closer to camp. Younger campers are likely to stay in the lodges and older campers are likely to stay in the cabins.
New series from Familius Press: SIGN THE SEASONS!
I am so excited to finally share my new board book series with the world!
Sign the Seasons introduces babies and toddlers to early communication through the sights and traditions of the seasons. Each book features 8 essential American Sign Language signs in a simple, story-driven context. With warm illustrations by Ekaterina Ladatko and clear signing instructions, children and caregivers can learn and practice together, turning everyday moments into opportunities for connection and language development. Perfect for families and early learning settings, the Sign the Seasons series blends seasonal fun with meaningful skill-building for little learners.

“What a beautiful book! The illustrations wrap around the reader like a warm hug after a chilly fall day. This book will be perfect for anyone looking to learn about sign language for fall. I can see this being used and loved in homes, classrooms, libraries, and bookstores for interactive storytimes where children practice their motor skills and celebrate the season.” – Tracy C.
