SHARING OUR FRIENDS NEWS:
A message from Keenan Gao with ASL Climb
Minneapolis Bouldering Project is offering rock climbing 1-day summer camps with ASL interpreters for DHH youth aged 5 to 12. The sessions are offered for ages 5 to 12. Rock climbing is a physically rewarding way for youth to learn problem-solving skills and perseverance. This camp is a great opportunity for youth to socialize with other DHH children in a small group environment with an instructor-student ratio of 1:6.
There will be 3 separate sessions on Fridays from 9am-2pm. Each 1-day session costs $110.
Attached is a flyer for a DHH rock climbing summer camp that links to more information. Please distribute this to interested groups!
We want to thank our monthly Donor: Laura Perez. Your monthly donations make a difference in our organization! You rock!
