This will be a three-day opportunity for campers age 12 to 17, who utilize an Augmentative and/or Alternative Communication device to support their communication during the C7 Superhero Camp Week (July 27, 2020 - July 31, 2020)!

During these three days, coaches will guide the camper’s specific goals and needs. Attend the full week, at a cost of $600, or attend the three-day AAC portion only (Tuesday - Thursday), at a cost of $300.
