Deaf camps..
July 22, 2009
Hi, everybody. I have a question relating to deaf summer camps.
I went to Camp Isola Bella in the Berkshire mountains in the state of Connecticut for the 2001-2002 summer session and I really enjoyed my time there.
Since I won’t have to do anything next summer, I was thinking: why not work at a camp? I don’t mind working at Isola Bella, but I was wondering if you all know any other good camps that I could look into?
I know most camps require you to have First aid/CPR certificates but I don’t know if I’d have time to get these. So if you do know any camps that do not really require me to have those, that’d be great. Please do leave comments! I’d appreciate it.
And I am reallyyy looking forward to graduate school at RIT I can’t wait. I received my schedule and it sounds interesting, so let’s see what happens. I most likely will blog about it once I start graduate school.
But yeah, do let me know if you all have any ideas about the summer deaf camps. Thanks!

Thank you!
Some camps provide cpr/first aid training on-site before you works with the campers.
I know Youth Leadership Camp provides this kind of training.

Oh, really? Thank you for that helpful tidbit. =)
Hi rachel, were you one of my campers? I was a counselor in 2001 and 2002. I googled “Isola Bella 2001″ trying to see if there were blogs or pictures posted, which is how I found this.
