Top 5 Reasons Your Child Needs KODA Camp
Level Playing Field
KODA Camp provides a rich environment full of new friends, monumental achievements and memorable activities. We provide supportive relationships, challenging opportunities, but most importantly, we give all children a level playing field from the start—without the pressures of school or suburban life. Everyone is equal at Camp.
Camp Changes Your Child for the Better
Campers’ parents have reported that when their children return home from camp they are more mature and responsible, and are more equipped to stand up for what they know is right.
Unplug from Society and Enjoy the Outdoors
Imagine your child choosing an outdoor activity over the cell phone or a video game. At KODA Camp, we focus on the importance of outdoor activities, while learning to live in a group setting. Camp is a place to develop face-to-face relationships and reflect on nature. It’s about kids being kids in a safe, comforting environment without the pressures of technology. Whether it’s a fast-paced game of capture-the-flag or just a walk to arts & crafts room, our campers enjoy a lot of physical activity they otherwise would not get at home or school! And let’s face it, the more physical activity… the better for everyone!
Learn About Being a KODA
Identity and understanding deaf culture are two major aspects covered at camp. Our staff comes from a wide variety of background and experiences that help give insight and share all the wonderful parts of being a KODA. From sharing personal experiences in both the hearing and Deaf worlds to learning about multicultural beauty of sign language to diving into the rich history of Deaf culture. No matter what experience or background all KODAs are welcomed and treasured.
It’s FUN
Maybe it’s the goofy counselors, camping out under the stars or just hanging out with friends, but there’s something about KODA Camp that goes so deep under the skin that kids, and now adults, reminiscence about upon years later. It’s hard to describe, but it’s a magical place.
