​The mission of Signs of Fun is to help parents of deaf children find friends who use the same mode of communication. Signs of Fun resolves this important issue. Our camp provides parents with a network of support in raising today's deaf child.

 

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.

At Signs of Fun, our campers finally have a place where they belong, where everyone's the same, where they can be themselves and realize their potential.
Our vision for the campers is to see them participate with abandon, engage in new activities without hesitation, and create ideas they would like the group to be involved in.

Where LANGUAGE matters!

Visit HERE for Deaf Resources 

The Signs of Fun logo brings together two powerful symbols in American Sign Language. The handshape represents the sign for “camp” combined with the “I Love You” (ILY) handshape, a widely recognized sign of connection in the Deaf community. At the center is a campfire, symbolizing the joy, friendship, and memories created at summer camp. Together, the symbol reflects the heart of Signs of Fun: a place where Deaf children connect, communicate, and belong.
