Thank you for registering your child to attend our fun-filled summer camps. Our camps are packed with many opportunities to learn, make friends with other Deaf or Hard of Hearing kids, and explore outlets many times not available during the school year. The Ohio School for the Deaf offers week-long residential summer camps* on multiple topics. Below are a few things that are important to know about our summer camps. All camps will be held at OSD, 500 Morse Road Columbus, OH 43214 Most camps are scheduled as residential camps except for the Elementary DeafPlus day camp. For residential camps, campers will sleep in dorms Sunday evening through Friday morning. Campers must be potty-trained and be able to independently dress & shower themselves to stay in the dorms. *If you live locally your child may attend as a day camper, with the understanding that you must pick them up each day; Mon-Thursday at 4:00pm and Friday at 3:00pm. Also for staff planning purposes please indicate on the registration form of their day or dorm camper status. Residential campers will report Sunday evening, and parents need to pickup Friday afternoon by 3:00pm at the conclusion of the camp. Three meals will be provided each day, plus light snacks. Students are allowed to bring a few of their own snacks from home in breadbox-sized plastic containers with their name on it that will be kept in the dorm. The grade requirement for each camp is for the incoming grade for the 2018-2019 school year. Each camp will have a maximum of 16 campers (unless otherwise indicated) and a minimum of two teachers. Evening activities and possible local fieldtrips will be planned to provide extra social time for the campers. The cost for each camp is $25, due at the time of registration. We will not hold spots for unpaid registrations. Some camps will ask for additional spending money for activities during the camp. That info will be located under requirements. Registration and payment must be received by Wednesday May 2 Space is limited for each camp and are filled based on first come, first serve basis.
