OKLAHOMA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 2010'
DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING ACADEMIC CAMP

"We are back !!!" after cancelling last year's DHAC camp to make way for the National camp, we now hope to renew the popularity of the DHAC camp here at OSD. In 2008, we had 90 campers attend our 2 camps. We hope to increase that number, and have added SOMETHING NEW that will be enjoyed by all. Mini-sport camps will be a part of our daily activities, as well as being invited to the Rotary leadership camp, where we will be involved in a variety of activities with the hearing students

The theme for camps this year is "Rule with Reading." This is a broad topic that will allow campers to experience all kinds of discussions, research, and opportunities to develop what they believe would be beneficial for their futures.

As of January, we are accepting applications for both camps. PARENTS! Be aware that late applications were not accepted in the past due to planning requirements for budgeting and staffing needs.
