Sign Language Factory is happy to announce their 15th Expressions in Silence Weekend! This weekend will be for beginner through advanced levels and will be held at our new camp location, beautiful Forest Home in Forest Falls, (Redlands) CA.
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 the Silent Weekend camp. There will be a variety of workshops and games throughout the weekend. You won't want to miss it!
Workshops will be provided for all levels of signers...you choose which ones you're most comfortable in. Some workshops may be voiced for your learning convenience, but outside the workshops...NO VOICING! 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!
Your accommodations will be dorm style cabins, sleeping 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 dorm cabin.
