We are bringing back a conference favorite for children ages 5-12! This camp is limited to 40 children.
Note: If you have children older than 12 years old, they may be interested in the Jr. NAD Pages Program!
The Kids Camp will be held July 3-6, 2024 during the 57th Biennial NAD Conference at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk. This program is designed for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing children and KODAS! The Kids Camp will be in ASL and includes onsite and offsite activities: museum, amusement park, zoo, swimming, fun activities, and more! Public transportation will be used. Lunch and snacks will be provided on each day. A parent or guardian must administer any medications that require adult assistance, as a camp nurse will not be provided. All campers must be potty trained. The NAD will not be responsible for any lost items such as hearing aids.
Kids Camp Hours will be 8 AM – 4 PM. Note: $25 fee will be charged for late drop-offs (starting at 8:25 AM) and pick-ups (starting at 4:25 PM).
Registration is available for the first 40 children:
- Rate for one child $400
- Rate for two children $720
- Rate for three children $1,040
- Rate for four children $1,360
Each registration includes four days of snacks, water, lunch, admission tickets, and public transportation tickets.
Registration deadline is May 31, 2024, no on-site registration will be possible due to advance planning. With the structured program and prior arrangements for field trips, we cannot accommodate one-day only registration. The Kids Camp program will need a minimum of 20 campers in order for the program to continue.
