Green Mountain Lions Camp 2019
Great news - The Green Mountain Lions Camp (formally Austine Green Mountain Lions Camp) is back and better than ever! Our camp has brought together Deaf and Hard of Hearing kids and teens from all over New England and beyond for over 30 years. Our beautiful new location is in Cabot, VT. The new campus has hiking trails, fields to play on, a barn for indoor activities, craft cabin and waterfront swimming and boating! Memories are made and forever friendships are formed in an environment of total communication access. The primary language used at camp is American Sign Language (ASL) and we guide and encourage new signers to practice and use ASL to foster an environment of access and inclusion.
