Camp SIGN 2014<\/p>\n

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

Camp SIGN is for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 15 who are deaf or hard of hearing can benefit the outdoor training program. Counselor-in-Training (CIT) is a program for developing leadership skills and preparing boys and girls aged 16 and 17 to become future camp counselors and leaders. Participants are former campers who meet the CIT program criteria established by the Camp SIGN committee.<\/p>\n

The camp staff is chosen to accommodate the variety of communication needs of the campers. Most of the counselors are professionals who work with individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Many of the counselors themselves are deaf or hard of hearing had served as excellent role models for the campers. Many counselors are former campers and CITs and return year after year to work with the program.<\/p>\n

Camp SIGN continues to use a wonderful campsite in the woodlands of Conroe, Texas just 35 miles north of Houston. Camp Misty Meadows is owned and operated by the Girl Scout of San Jacinto. The date for camp this year is Sunday, August 3, 2014- Friday, August 8, 2014.

No child will be admitted without the required paperwork. The cost of the medical examination and transportation of the child to and from Camp SIGN are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.<\/p>\n

The total cost ranges from $35 to $235 (both application and camp fees) depending on the income of the parent(s) or guardian(s). Medical exams and transportation are not included in this price.<\/p>\n
