Last weekend, Pine Tree Society’s Interpreting Services staff traveled to Pine Tree Camp to host Sign Tree Camp.
Sign Tree Camp is a unique retreat designed for adults who are deaf and have an intellectual disability.
Many of our campers live in communication isolation as the only deaf person living in group homes scattered throughout Maine and beyond. Sign Tree Camp offers a fun, language-accessible camp experience in a barrier-free environment.
Over the weekend, campers enjoyed fall activities like pumpkin painting, nature walks, and a Halloween 
costume party!
“We always love to see old friends in an environment where everyone can communicate,” said Maura Nolin, Director of Interpreting Services. “Campers asked if they could come back for seven days next year.”
