Sign Language Factory is happy to announce their 16th Expressions in Silence Weekend! Our October weekend is for Intermediate through Advanced levels. However, every year we host two weekends to accommodate all levels, Beginning through Advanced, and they are held at our new camp location, beautiful Forest Home in Forest Falls, (Redlands) California. Please check back soon for the announcement of our 2010 Expressions in Silence Weekend dates!
You will have a unique opportunity to learn, build your self confidence and to practice your sign language skills as you socialize with our deaf friends who come to our Silent Weekend camp. They are there to encourage and help you throughout the weekend. You won't want to miss it!
Workshops will be provided throughout the weekend. Remember...this is a silent weekend. Workshops will NOT be voiced. Everyone is to turn off their voices and be immersed into ASL for the entire weekend! It's sure to be a challenging & rewarding experience for all levels of signers, 18 and older! (Special waivers may be accepted for students under 18. Please contact our office for more info.). Be sure to ask your ASL instructor about the possibility of receiving extra credit for your attendance. Many instructors will give extra credit for our Expressions in Silence weekends!
After a morning of some great workshops on Saturday, our new camp has some awesome opportunies to experience during your free time! You can enjoy the adventure of the zipline, or trout fishing in the pond. Feel like climbing a rock wall or going for a swim? They have that, too! It'll be a time to get to know some new friends, or hang with some old.
Experience some great comraderie as you explore and enjoy.
Or perhaps you'd rather go for a hike. Maybe just relax and enjoy the beautiful, serene surroundings, or take a nap! Just enjoy!
Your accommodations will be dorm style cabins, sleeping up to 10 people per cabin with bunkbeds.
Each cabin has it's own shower and private toilet. If you are coming with a friend or friends, you may request to be housed in the same cabin.
Check in anytime after 4pm on Friday afternoon. Our first workshop will begin at 7:00pm Friday evening. Saturday, your day will be filled with a variety of workshops,
ASL games, and other fun activities as well as a deaf panel discussion and a special "Nobody Famous!" comedy show by none other than Bill Rennie himself! Sunday, we will
wrap up with a short, non denominational church service (optional) all
in ASL. Departure will be at 11am on Sunday.
