During this 2-day camp, campers will interact with current faculty and students in the CSD/SLP Department at LVC. Sessions will include information about the field and the program, hands-on activities centered around alternative and augmentative communication, voice analysis, swallowing, language development activities, and more! There will also be opportunities to participate in some therapy groups in our on-campus clinic.

The camp is designed for rising High School Juniors and Seniors.

There is no formal registration deadline, but when the program is full registration will be closed. Because the number of spaces is limited (to facilitate closer collaborations between students, faculty, and guest speakers), it is advised that registrations and payments be submitted as soon as possible to secure a slot.

Once we receive your camp payment, Health Information Form and Waiver Form, you will be automatically added to our roster of enrolled students! Additional details about the program, including a detailed schedule, will be sent to all enrolled students prior to the start of camp.

A detailed camp schedule will be sent to all enrolled students prior to the start of camp.
