Signs of Fun Camp is a day camp that runs for one week each summer. Signs of Fun relies solely on donations from people like you — people who believe in the importance of providing programs to children who are Deaf or hard of hearing. It was established in 1995 by Arlene VanHorn for the Deaf and hard of hearing youth in Virginia.

​

We welcome campers who are Deaf or hard of hearing, ages 3-years-old to 18-years-old. Hearing siblings are also welcome. Camp hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m and children will enjoy activities such as crafts, sports, games, fishing, and swimming. Our camp is held each year for one week. Here we swim, hike, fish, and have a variety of activities throughout the day related to our theme for the week. Many of our counselors are former campers that have graduated high school or ASL students from the local colleges. We offer a counselor-in-training program for teens to develop their leadership skills. The cost to the campers is minimal for the week.  Our support is from the Lions Club and other fundraisers, also with the help of parents and friends. 

​

Signs of Fun also aims to assist our parents by giving them options for communication with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Parents are encouraged to sign up for the ASL Class which happens while their children are at camp!
