Letter to Parents
Dear Parents,
While summer camp has been canceled due to COVID-19, we board members are very excited to offer a variety of virtual, hands-on activities to keep your child busy, learning, and having fun from August 17th -21st, 2020 while practicing safe social distancing. The half-hour sessions will take place from 9 am-12:30pm and 1:00pm-4:00pm.
For example, youths between 9 -12 years old will, meet with our Deaf BIPOC (Black Indigenous, and People of Color) presenters for a session running from 9-9:30am to learn Theater 101.
A summer online camp is a fun way for our campers to learn and explore their own identities with the assistance of Deaf adult role models. Here is our proposed schedule:
August 17-August 21st - Children -
Sessions every 30 minutes from 9:00am- 12:30pm
Teens Sessions every 30 minutes from 1:00pm-4:00pm
Our new board member, Nour Ellakis, Parent Outreach/Family Event Coordinator, will also create a 5-day event schedule to coordinate with you in further detail.
While virtual summer camp will be free, campers will need access to high speed internet for the Zoom sessions. Registration is open through July 31 st , 2020. Zoom is easily downloaded, and login information will follow in an email. Our Director or Assistant Director will host a test session before we start.
We will reach our board member, a Spanish voice-interpreter, to post a video on YouTube that will help explain how to design the schedule for your child. We may be able to invite you to participate in session with Spanish voice-interpreter(s). We will update you next week. While our camp has been interrupted by this terrible pandemic, our campers can still strengthen their self-esteem, self-confidence, explore their Deaf identity, social skills, and leadership skills. Youths and teens demonstrate stronger environmental stewardship as a result of attending camp.
We would love to discuss this with you on videophone. Please call Mayra Castro, Director, videophone: 267-331-4308 or sign up online by July 31st. You can find more information at [email protected] .
We look forward to welcoming your child for a virtual summer camp this August!
Warm regards, Mayra Castro, Director
Andrew Robertson, Assistant Director

Carta a los padres
Estimados padres,
Mientras que nuestro campamento de verano ha sido cancelado debido a COVID-19, los miembros de la junta deseamos ofrecerles una variedad de actividades virtuales y prácticas para mantener a su hijo/a ocupado/a, aprendiendo y divirtiéndose, del 17 al 21 de agosto de 2020, mientras practican el distanciamiento social seguro. Las sesiones de media hora se llevarán a cabo de 9 am-12:30pm y 1:00pm-4:00pm.
El campamento en línea de verano es una forma divertida para que nuestros campistas aprendan y exploren sus propias identidades con la ayuda de modelos a seguir adultos sordos. Aquí está nuestro horario propuesto:
Los jóvenes entre 9 y 12 años se reunirán con nuestros presentadores sordos BIPOC (Indígenas Negros y Personas de Color) para una sesión que se llevará a cabo de 9-9:30 a.m. para aprender Teatro 101.
Del 17 de agosto al 21 de agosto - Niños - Sesiones cada 30 minutos de 9:00am- 12:30pm
Adolescentes Sesiones cada 30 minutos de 1:00pm-4:00pm
Nuestro nuevo miembro de la junta, Nour Ellakis, Coordinador de Alcance para Padres/Eventos Familiares, también creará un calendario de eventos de 5 días para coordinarse con usted en más detalle.
El campamento de verano virtual será gratuito, y los campistas necesitarán acceso a Internet de alta velocidad para las sesiones de la plataforma digital Zoom. La inscripción está abierta hasta el 31 de julio de 2020. Zoom se descarga fácilmente en la computadora, y la información de inicio de sesión seguirá en un correo electrónico. Nuestro Director o Subdirector organizará una sesión de prueba antes de comenzar.
Nos comunicaremos con nuestros miembros de la junta con una persona intérprete de voz en español, para publicar un video en YouTube que le ayudará a explicar cómo diseñar el horario para su hijo. Es posible extenderle una invitacion para participar en la sesión con intérpretes de voz en español, la cual actualizaremos la próxima semana.
A pesar de que nuestro campamento ha sido interrumpido por esta terrible pandemia en este año, nuestros campistas todavía pueden fortalecer su autoestima, aumentar la confianza en sí mismos, 2 explorar su identidad sorda, y desarrollar sus habilidades sociales y de liderazgo. Los jóvenes y adolescentes demostraran una mayor conciencia comunitaria como resultado de su asistencia al campamento.
Nos encantaría discutir esto con usted en videoteléfono. Llame a Mayra Castro, directora, al número de videoteléfono: 267-331-4308 o regístrese en línea antes del 31 de julio. Puede encontrar más información en [email protected] .
¡Esperamos darles la bienvenida a su hijo/a/x para el campamento de verano virtual en el mes de agosto! Gratos saludos,
Mayra Castro, directora
Andrew Robertson, director asistente
