Camp SIGN is for boys and girls who are deaf or hard of hearing and can benefit from an outdoor training program. Children between the ages of 8 and 17 are eligible as campers. The staff is chosen to accommodate the communication needs of the campers. Most of the counselors are professionals working in the field with individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Many of the counselors themselves are deaf or hard of hearing and serve as excellent role models for the campers.
Many counselors are former campers and CITs and return year after year to work with the program.
For the past several years, Camp SIGN has been held at a wonderful campsite in the woodlands of Conroe, Texas just 35 miles north of Houston. Camp Misty Meadows is owned and operated by the San Jacinto Girl Scout Council. The site has many wonderful activities and amenities sure to delight the campers. There are evening activities such as sports, swimming, storytelling, games and others for campers to enjoy. Traditional activities such as tribe games have been included.
