Why is KODA Camp so important!?

The cost of camp IS expensive ($850 for the first child, $800 for each subsequent child). I agree with you! I have five KODAs and when I sent my first one to KODA Camp in South Dakota, she came home with such a positive attitude about having deaf parents, deaf culture, and a new appreciation for ASL. I thought to myself, “All kids should go!” Parents wonder why it is important for a KODA to go to camp.

1) To learn Deaf Culture

2) To understand the rules of ASL

3) To  participate in KODAtalk. (a discussion where KODAs share their life experiences with deaf parents.)

4) To promote future contribution to and involvement with the deaf community once the child leaves their parents’ nests.

Totally excited for this year’s kids! There will be some new counselors and new CITs.  Every year is always something different, but equally wonderful.

The applications are ready for Summer 2012.  It is $850 for the first child, additional child is $800. In each session, only 60 kids will be accepted. (30 girls, 30 boys)
