Program Description

The Holley Family Village is excited to bring back Youth Week—a four-night residential experience designed for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing youth, as well as hearing youth with Deaf parents or hearing youth with Deaf, DeafBlind, or Hard of Hearing siblings.

Youth Week provides a fun, supportive, and communication-accessible environment where participants build confidence, develop independence, and create lasting friendships with peers who share similar life experiences.

Throughout the week, youth will participate in engaging workshops focused on topics such as Deaf identity, teamwork, communication, leadership, budgeting and money management, and other age-appropriate life skills. Recreational activities including waterfront swimming, adventure course, arts and crafts, drama, evening games, and other group activities provide opportunities for fun, personal growth, and connection.

Our trained staff supervise participants throughout the entire program and are certified in CPR, First Aid, Fire Safety, and emergency response to help ensure a safe and welcoming experience for every child.
