Three Cue Camps take place this summer in
New York, Maine, and
Virginia. Each camp provides opportunities for parents, professionals, and deaf or hard of hearing individuals to learn and practice Cued Speech.
Cue Camp New York (CCNY)
Taking place June 12 to 15, Cue Camp New York will take place at Nazareth College in Rochester under the direction of Kristin Bergholtz. The camp offers Cued Speech classes and presentations on the latest research. Adults are not the only ones learning to cue as children also will be exposure to cueing, with the older children receiving formal instruction.
This is a great experience for those within driving distance of Rochester to take a workshop and immerse themselves in a cueing environment. For more information contact Kristin Berholtz at
kkcolema@naz.edu
Cue Camp New England (CCNE)
Originally Cue Camp Maine, this Cue Camp has relocated to the Governor Baxter School of the Deaf in Falmouth, Maine, a stone’s throw away from Portland and will take place July 30 to August 3.
Children participate in cue classes in the mornings and after lunch. All campers will take part in outdoor “cueing recreation” before dinner daily. Presentations and panels will take place after dinner for the adult campers while the children take part in group activities each night.

Cue Camp Virginia at Jamestown (CCVA)
Coming off a large turnout in 2007 Cue Camp Virginia will return to the Jamestown 4-H Center, located on the James River not far from the original Jamestown Settlement. As the last Cue Camp of the year, CCVA will take place September 26 to 28.
A campfire takes place Friday night and the traditional dance Saturday night. Canoes and kayaks for the James River will be made available Saturday afternoon to all campers under the supervision of trained lifeguards.
Only three hours from the heart of DC, Cue Camp Virginia is within driving distance of the Middle Atlantic states. Visit
