What is Camp H.E.A.R. ?

Camp H.E.A.R. (Hearing Empowerment and Adventure Retreat)  is a one of its kind retreat designed specifically for children with a hearing loss AND their families who are seeking a  hearing and spoken language outcome.  Campers and their immediate family members are invited to spend the weekend at one of our amazing partner facilities.  Children will get to participate in traditional camp activities like horseback rides, waterslides, swimming, fishing, archery, zip lines, field games, dance parties, and a few special surprises.
