DCARA’s Family Connections is proudly presenting its second annual week long Literacy Day Camp held at the Deaf Community Center on July 22-26, 2013. The camp is for pre-teens ages 10– 12. Deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind kids and KODAs (hearing kids-deaf parents) are welcome!
Literacy Day Camp offers young campers a wide array of enriching opportunities to socialize, collaborate on projects, and explore their Deaf and Hearing cultures as well as their own identities. The camp also offers opportunities for young campers to learn from Deaf adults who are language role models. Interacting in small groups provides a context for youth to extend their thinking, build on one another’s ideas, and cooperate to solve problems. Literacy is an integral part of our lives. Lets make it a part of our children's lives!
The daily morning program will have Deborah O’ Willow guide campers through the textural and visual world of journaling for self-discovery through the combination of words and art. The art of journaling is about the creative process of pulling together color, words and images as you wish on a page. Unlike many other forms of art, it is not about the outcome. Campers will learn about themselves
as they process their art work. Campers will learn various art materials to support their creativity development and to journal their experiences at camp!
Shira Grabelsky and Mary Ann Hencker will lead the daily afternoon program that will focus on exploring the works of Deaf actors, dancers, and filmmakers through video and movement. Campers will learn about various artists, themes within their work, and create theatre and film pieces inspired by the Deaf artists they learn about. The camp's website will also be maintained by the campers through photographs of and vlogs about their experience at camp!
