USHthis Summer Youth Camp is a 6-day/5-night program for youth with Usher syndrome. USHthis is designed to provide a traditional camp experience, conducted in English, for campers with Usher syndrome, ages 12-17 years old, who use listening and spoken language.

A traditional summer camp offers a wide range of activities, versus a camp that specializes in just one sport or activity. Traditional activities could include archery, canoeing, water based activities, campfire, arts & crafts, bracelet making, hiking, and horseback riding. Campers, ages 15-17, who express an interest in future leadership opportunities will be invited to participate in our Mentor-in-Training program.

Our program is dedicated to providing a supportive and empowering environment where participants can gain an understanding about their diagnosis of Usher syndrome, enhance their self advocacy skills, develop peer-to-peer relationships, and most importantly…just have fun!
