The NAD Youth Leadership Camp (YLC) is a sensational
four-week summer camp program for deaf and hard of hearing high school
students. The camp provides campers the ability to develop their
scholarship, leadership, and citizenship qualities in nature environment.
Being outdoor has an amazing way of inspiring campers. Campers experience
self-discovery, learn about self-identity, confidence, and self-esteem and
understand many things about themselves. NAD YLC is also an extension of the
activities and training offered by the Junior NAD,
www.nad.org/youth-leadership-programs/JuniorNAD. |

The camp selects 32 male and 32 female campers with a total of 64 campers
from all over the USA and internationally. The campers receive donations to
cover their application and tuition fees and travel expenses. Community
members, including NAD YLC alumni, staff members, and guest speakers, are
actively involved in this program. Each of them makes a lasting impact on
the program. |

Hands-on activities offer campers the opportunity to understand the emphasis
on 'learning by doing,' adopting the old Chinese proverb: "Tell me, and I'll
forget. Show me, and I'll remember. Involve me, and I'll learn." This
dynamic camp program builds character and promotes a lifetime of healthy
activities and relationships with others. |

This highly popular program has graduated over 2,500 alumni in its 41 years
of existence. This, in turn, contributes to a network of successful alumni.
Many of these alumni have become successful leaders and advocates for the
deaf and hard of hearing community, including businessmen and women,
teachers, professors, lawyers, doctors, NAD board members, and employees.
NAD YLC is a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity. |
