Some samples of each day’s recipes will come home with your child so that they can share the wonderful food they made at camp with their family!

This fun and engaging camp with Mrs. Sikora will teach American Sign Language (ASL) through vocabulary games, crafts, and creative role play!  Current research has shown that hearing children who learn ASL while young, tend to show advanced articulation, language, and spatial reasoning skills as they mature.  Since Cleveland has a large deaf community, many WCA students are using their sign skills to encourage deaf people they encounter.  Parents are welcome to attend camp and learn ASL along with their student.  Upon completion of the camp, students will receive a special ASL item to take home with them.
