Deaf Camp Now Hiring
February 22nd, 2013 by admin No comments »
The Camp Sertoma Club of NC/VA & MD Deaf Camp Committee is in need of signing Cabin Counselors and Deaf or Hard of Hearing Cabin Counselors to provide leadership and daily support of deaf, hard of hearing or hearing children with deaf or hard of hearing family members for our 30th annual Sertoma Deaf Camp. The camp is held at Sertoma 4-H Educational Center, near Hanging Rock State Park in Danbury, NC. Counselors will be required to attend training the Friday or Saturday before camp starts and then provide assistance and leadership during the week of Deaf Camp.
Training days: June 14th, 15th & 16th
Camp week: June 16-21, 2013
Applicants should have skills to work with deaf, hard of hearing and hearing campers. Certified Interpreters as well as ASL 101 students are encouraged to apply. Prior experience with working with children in a camping environment will be considered. Applicants must be at least 18 and have completed high school.
Campers will be assigned to cabins by age group (4 adventurous/outdoorsy staff will be placed in adventure camp). Our ratio of counselors to campers will be 1:4 for each cabin. We are anticipating 5 cabins of boys and 5 cabins of girls and 20 campers in adventure camp. Counselors will stay in the cabins with the campers and accompany them throughout the week to all classes and activities. Signing counselors will work in conjunction with the non-signing summer staff to make the week of Deaf Camp a memorable and meaningful week for all campers.
Summer Camp Signing Staff will be paid depending on experience. Rate will include room and board. You will be paid for the training day(s) as well as camp week.

Fun Weekend Rescheduled
September 6th, 2012 by admin No comments »
Dear Camp Sertoma Committee Member, Camp Sertoma Club Member, and/or Member of a Sertoma Club in the Chesapeake Bay, Doug Council, or Henry C. Carter Districts:Because of a mixup as to the dates of the “third weekend of September,” the Sertoma 4-H Center will not be available on the weekend of September 15-16 for our event. The Sertoma 4-H Center staff had us scheduled for the weekend of September 22-23 and in the meantime rented the property for a wedding on the weekend of September 15-16.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We hope that those of you who have RSVP’d that you were coming on the weekend of the 15th will be able to come a week later and those of you who had a conflict will now be able to attend. The RSVP deadline date has been extended by another week.
Attached is a revised flyer and registration form. Again we apologize for any inconvenience.
