Deaf children's Camp 2009 (partnership with NDCS)

We had two weeks of Deaf Camp - First week was Deaf Children's Camp in partnership with NDCS with 38 children and 14 staff. The second week was Deaf Teen Camp with 19 Children and 11 staff all camping out in Walesby Forest! There were activities such as:

Climbing
Rafting
Kayaking
Long range archery
Air-rifling
Bouncy assault course
Orienteering
and many more...

Boxing coaching - with thanks to Jamie for giving up his time to teach young children boxing.

Everyone enjoyed themselves - see photos! (click here to look at the gallery). If anyone has any more photos of Deaf Children's Camp or Deaf Teen Camp I would appreciate it if you could email them to me as our camera was stolen in a burglary.

Thank you to all those involved for their hard work, and to the parents for bringing their children.
