Amplified: Behind the Scenes of Listening and Spoken Language Camp
For many children with hearing loss, summer camp isn’t just about s’mores, archery, or canoe rides—it’s about finding community, confidence, and connection. In this week’s episode of Amplified, we sat down with Kaleigh Calisto, Hear Indiana’s Camp Co-Director, to talk about what makes Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) Camp such a transformative experience.
Kaleigh shares how camp is designed to give children who are deaf or hard of hearing a chance to:
-
Build friendships with peers who share similar experiences.
-
Gain independence in a safe and supportive environment.
-
Celebrate communication through activities that reinforce LSL strategies.
-
Involve families, who connect with each other and leave with a stronger support network.
From campfires and ropes courses to parent education sessions, Hear Indiana’s LSL Camp offers something much deeper than a typical summer program—it’s a place where kids and families feel seen, understood, and empowered.
💬 As Kaleigh explains, “Camp is about more than fun—it’s about helping children realize that their voices matter, and showing families that they are not alone.”
Don’t miss this heartfelt conversation that captures the spirit of LSL Camp and the mission of Hear Indiana.
