CamPAH!
WHEN: February 18-19, 2023
Saturday & Sunday
9 am – 3 pm
WHAT: This year’s unique mountain experience will include a fusion of sign language, spoken word, storytelling – but most importantly, making turns on the mountain slopes whether it’s skiing or snowboarding! This is a great choice for those who are *Deaf and between the ages of 10 – 19 (or currently in high school) eager to learn and improve their skiing or snowboarding skills along with a trained Deaf coach.
Campers meet on the snow for six hours each day (from 9 am to 3 pm) with some of the finest humans you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Beginners to advanced riders/skiers regardless of communication mode and ability, we welcome all!
While skiing and snowboarding isn’t really a team sport, the learning process is social. Lessons are done either one-on-one or within a small group which is a great way to create a bond. As the weekend goes, the ski/snowboard ability of each camper will progress. CamPAH offers campers the opportunity to master the basics, build self-awareness, confidence, social skills and it will make one love the mountains if they don’t already!
COST: CamPAH is offered at NO COST to participants.
