Spring Camp Cheerio May 18th-20th 2012
Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the weekend is held at Camp Cheerio, a family camp with board, lodging, and recreational activities for all ages. The weekend is designed for individuals and families interested in learning strategies for spoken language and sharing experiences as they relate to hearing impairment. Cued Speech Classes will also be offered during the weekend.
During this camp weekend, children are placed in age-appropriate classes where they participate in activities such as crafts, games, hiking, canoeing, archery, a hillside waterslide, and more. While the children are in their classes, parents attend educational sessions such as Cued Speech classes, advocacy training, technology updates, and issues on raising a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. Also, we will be hosting our second annual Canoe Trip on the New River for the Teens Program with the assistance of Teen Program Coordinators and Cheerio Staff.
Several of the professional presentations include Johnnie Sexton, Kris Martin, Patricia A. Roush, and Holly Teagle.
Late afternoons will be a time of sharing with parents and professionals as well as time to enjoy the activities and facilities of Camp Cheerio. We will have a Dance in the gym on Friday night and on Saturday night we will have a magic show and Ice Cream Social/ Slide Show and Bonfire (weather permitting).
