Impact Deaf Youth Camp will be held at Camp Gideon this year between July 7-12.  Be sure to register early!  You can get more information at Impact Deaf Youth Camp!

Who can go to camp?

This is a camp for Deaf, Hard of Hearing and CODA children age 8-18. All counselors are fluent in ASL (most are Deaf) and desire to be role models to our young people.

What are some activities?

There are various activities such as crafts, sports, games, swimming, team-building, tubing and many other activities.

History of IDYC:

The camp was started last July in 2009 by three pastors of deaf churches in Georgia and Virginia. They are: Mason Fenner of the Deaf Baptist Fellowship in Rome, Georgia; Bud Richardson of the Rowland Springs Baptist Church in Cartersville, Georgia and Samuel Woods of the Grace Baptist Church for the Deaf in Bristol, Virginia. These pastors and their churches had a desire to make an impact on the deaf youth in the Southeastern states. Thus a small camp in Danbridge, TN was established.

Is there a nurse available?

Yes, we have a registered nurse at the camp for minor emergencies. All serious emergencies will be transported to hospital less than 20 minutes from the camp.

Do you have lifeguards?

Yes, we have lifeguards who are present to watch the swimming and canoeing activities.

Counselors:

The majority of our counselors are Deaf adults who have leadership roles in our churches. They are great role models to the campers. They play a major role in the success of the camp. We have a ratio of one counselor per three campers. Teams are divided up into groups with three counselors per dorm.

How much is the camp?

• $150.00 Students (age 8-18)
• $280.00 for two students from the same family

Deadline for registration is July 11, Sunday evening.
