Fun and Sign Day Camp
Fun and Sign is open to children 5 to 12 years old whose parent or caregiver is attending the ASL Immersion program. Run in conjunction with the program, it operates during the same hours at the Manitoba School for the Deaf. While parents and caregivers are in class, kids can enjoy a range of exciting activities designed to foster self-confidence and communication skills.
Registration is $185 ( + additional fee to opt in to the lunch program). Space is limited and priority will be given to children who need or use ASL (Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing) and their siblings. Please note, this is not a school program for Deaf children.
