About Camp SIGN<\/p>\n

Thank you for your interest in Camp SIGN, a communication barrier-free
\nenvironment for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Camp SIGN
\nmission is to have all deaf or hard of hearing students from around the
\nstate participate in the program regardless of their communication mode. The
\nphilosophy of the camp is to provide an environment of acceptance and
\nencouragement. This program operates under Office for Deaf and Hard of
\nHearing Services (DHHS) under DARS-DRS.<\/p>\n

Camp SIGN is for boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 15 who are deaf
\nor hard of hearing can benefit the outdoor training program.
\nCounselor-in-Training (CIT) is a program for developing leadership skills
\nand preparing boys and girls aged 16 and 17 to become future camp counselors
\nand leaders. Participants are former campers who meet the CIT program
\ncriteria established by the Camp SIGN committee.<\/p>\n

The camp staff is chosen to accomodate the variety of communication needs of
\nthe campers. Most of the counselors are professionals who work with
\nindividuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Many of the counselors
\nthemselves are deaf or hard of hearing had served as excellent role models
\nfor the campers. Many counselors are former campers and CITs and return year
\nafter year to work with the program.<\/p>\n

Camp SIGN continues to use a wonderful campsite in the woodlands of Conroe,
\nTexas just 35 miles north of Houston. Camp Misty Meadows is owned and
\noperated by the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto. The date for camp this year is
\nSunday, August 7, 2011 – Friday, August 12, 2011.<\/p>\n
