New friendships. New Experiences. Everlasting memories.

Leonardo Da Vinci once said that learning never exhausts the mind. Indeed, it is true! Every day the campers and staff learn and grow together. We cherish every moment spent on what we can benefit from each other.

Part of our daily routine is doing calisthenics to warm up our bodies before the day begins. Each morning, we try a variety kind of exercises from running, stretching, and even to yoga.

During our camp session, we always believe in providing a variety of workshops by different people for different reasons. By doing that, the campers gain knowledge about what benefits we have in our society today. Our camp counselors, Noel King and Priscilla Biskupiak, gave workshops on two non-profit organizations: Deaf Youth USA (DYUSA) and World Federation of the Deaf Youth Section (WFDYS). It is important to be connected with different countries in the world so we can be stronger and work together as one.

their networking by joining WFDYS.

The NAD YLC program also provides Camp Council. It is when all campers get together in the Leadership Hall and discuss concerns, issues, vote on chairpeople for certain events, and so forth. Camp Council also teaches the parliamentary procedure to campers so they can bring back this knowledge to their schools.

 NAD YLC is also a wonderful place to meet new people and create new everlasting friendships.
