ASL Week, is an intensive program in American Sign Language (ASL). ASL week offers four different levels of instruction: Beginner, Intermediate I, Intermediate II, and Advanced. Upon arrival, instructors will evaluate participants in order to place them at their appropriate level. Please come prepared to remain silent from Sunday to Friday, using sign language to communicate in classes and at meals. Topics include ASL vocabulary, receptive and expressive skills, fingerspelling, use of classifiers, referencing, verbs, and insights on linguistics and Deaf culture. Breaks for swimming, sailing, hiking, evening sign games and skits round out the five hours of class time per day. If you would like to request a roommate for the week, please indicate that on the registration form. Request will be granted based on availability.  ASL Week is open to adults 18 years of age and older.
