Ohio School for the Deaf will be transitioning all Summer Camps to Virtual Camps for Summer 2020 due to the current public health circumstances to ensure the highest level of safety for students and staff. Virtual Camps will be facilitated by OSD educators with small group support from OSD staff. Students will have a variety of Virtual Camps to choose from to ensure continued engagement throughout the summer months.
OSD Virtual Camps will include 2-3 hours of online instruction from educators, supplemental enrichment activities, and ongoing support from OSD staff. A connected device (laptop, tablet, etc…) with internet connection will be required to participate in all Virtual Camps.
We look forward to hosting students this summer for our first Virtual Camp and providing ongoing opportunities for our students to learn and grow!

This camp is specifically designed for students who are deaf with additional disabilities.
This camp will focus on functional cooking nouns and verbs often found in recipes (vocabulary); how to read a recipe and follow it step by step (reading comprehension); and cooking measurements (math). Each camper will receive a "baking box" with dry ingredients for each recipe; a modified recipe; measuring cups and spoons; and a few cooking gadgets. Campers will connect twice a day: once in the morning to review the fundamentals of reading and executing the recipe of the day and once in the afternoon to "bake together". Campers will have access to a google classroom full of independent supplemental games and flash cards relating to recipes; task check lists for setting up and cleaning up the kitchen; and the recipes themselves. Come join us as we learn how to read recipes and bake together during this unique time in history!
