was amazing. I caught on with sign language quickly and learned to sign and speak at the same time. I made so many new friends and it was hard to leave them all. The 2 weeks blurred by so fast. I hiked a total 21 miles during camp. I discovered a new part of me. I opened up so much. I even danced!
When I first walked in I was near tears because everyone was signing and I didn't understand a word which was freaking me out. We walked into the main room and instead of the booming laughter and voices I was used to, it was silent. Everyone was signing. That was a huge eye-opener for me. Relived to hear that several of the girls in my cabin are oral and some are learning sign like me, I was relived. And the rest is history.
It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.
P.S. - I am so going back next year.
