Camp Sertoma for Deaf and Hard of Hearing - Minnesota

Camp Sertoma for Deaf and Hard of Hearing - Minnesota.

Camp Sertoma was created in 1999 in partnership with Sertoma Clubs of the Great Plains Region and Confidence Learning Center which is located on beautiful Sylvan Lake in central Minnesota. Camp Confidence's mission has always been to provide outdoor education and recreation for persons with all abilities. Camp Sertoma is a place where Deaf and Hard of Hearing children come and meet people just like them, without communication barriers. Counselors are Deaf or Hard of Hearing themselves, they are excited to work with deaf campers; they know how important camp is because of their backgrounds. Camp helped enrich their lives and now they are eager for the chance to enrich the lives of the campers. Many times, campers and counselors create ever-lasting friendships and memories.

Camp Optimism Working Together for Those in Need

Camp Optimism Working Together for Those in Need.

A Project of Camp Optimism Foundation... working together for disabled and physically challenged children in Need! How Camp Optimism Serves The Youth Of Your Community This summer residential camp for disabled and physically challenged children provides medical personnel and routine care on a 24 hour basis. In addition to the medical personnel and regular camp counselors, the camp tries to provide one adult volunteer for every two children during the time they are at camp. Camp Optimism has programs for swimming, boating, softball, volleyball, soccer, crafts, games and nature trails. It also has a complete medical facility, a dining hall, and a craft hall. This campsite also has an amphitheater and an outside pavilion. The campers and counselors sleep in onsite cabins. The cost for a one week (6 days) stay at the camp is $375.00 per child. However, no child will ever be denied admission to the camp due to an inability to pay (subject to available funds) or on the basis of race, creed, gender, nationality, or color. Camp Optimism is dedicated to providing a typical summer camp environment for at least 320 of our physically and mentally handicapped children in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia areas. We have recently received requests to accept campers from Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The camp is for children, age seven to fourteen, with cancer, juvenile diabetes, deaf or hard of hearing and mentally retarded. (no age limit for mentally retarded individuals). The program is completely independent and directed toward the enjoyment of all of the campers. No religious, ideological or political program is imposed on the campers. Rules of common sense, good behavior and friendship toward others are all we ask.
