We accomplish this by providing programs that support a listening and spoken language outcome for children with hearing loss.

Camp H.E.A.R. is open to any child age 4-15 with documented hearing loss AND their immediate family. Camp is designed specifically to benefit families who seek a hearing and spoken language outcome. Camp H.E.A.R. (Hearing Empowerment and Adventure Retreat) is a one of its kind retreats designed specifically for children with hearing loss AND their families who are seeking a hearing and spoken language outcome. Campers and their immediate family members are invoiced to spend the weekend at one of our amazing partner facilities. Children will get to participate in traditional camp activities like horseback rides, waterslides, swimming, fishing, archery, zip lines, field games, dance parties, and a few special surprises.
