\u00a0American Sign Language Camp for Children Offered in San Antonio and Houston<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shining Stars Homeschooling, a leading Texas home school provider is now accepting registration for upcoming day camps for children to learn American Sign Language in Houston and San Antonio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a fun, educational camp for your children to enjoy this summer, look no further. Our sign language camps are filled with activities to keep your children entertained while learning a new language. Your elementary and middle school children will learn the basics of American Sign Language through songs, games, skits, crafts, and fun, interactive lessons\u201d said Becky Sexton, the owner. \u201cAt the end of the last day of camp, they will show off their new skills to parents with a performance of songs and skits in sign language. Each child will also be awarded a camp T-shirt.”<\/p>\n

Registration is open to all elementary and middle school students in the Houston and San Antonio areas. Camps will be held at Houston Community College\u2019s Spring Branch and Missouri City (Sienna) locations as well as Alamo College\u2019s Northwest Vista and Northeast Lakeview campuses. Elementary students and middle school students will have separate classrooms, and each classroom will have at least two teachers. Parents will be able to drop off and pick up students without worrying about finding parking as teachers will meet parents at a designated pick up and drop off location. All camps include lunch and two snacks each day.<\/p>\n

Only 30 elementary students and 30 middle school students may register at each campus due to classroom availability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have found that most children have a natural curiosity and interest in sign language.\u201d Ms Sexton explains. \u201cLet them explore that interest and learn how to communicate with a new population. As children begin to learn sign language, they enjoy signing<\/span> with each other as a perceived \u2019secret, silent language,\u2019 and in doing so they<\/span> practice the language so they can be more proficient when communicating with members of the deaf community. The camps are is<\/span> especially useful for children who have a deaf family member with whom they would like to communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n
