Hello! My name is Jon Kessel. I have a question for you. What are your plans for this summer? No plans? Thinking about something fun and educational?
Absolutely, I have a perfect plan for you. It is NAD Youth Leadership Camp. It will take place from June 22 through July 20, 2011 in Stayton, Oregon, at Camp Taloali. The Camp features 111 acres of forested land, cabins, and river. It is located in the foothills of Oregon’s Cascade Mountains. Quite beautiful.
NAD YLC is designed to offer deaf and hard of hearing high school students opportunities to develop leadership skills. Students must be in 10th or 11th grade. With all the leadership development training, NAD is dedicated to providing essential tools.
Such topics include advocacy, empowerment, group dynamics, current issues, outdoor activities, and much more. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Campers and staff applications forms are online at:

The camper application deadline is March 31, 2011. Very soon.
Interested in working at YLC? Oh, yes, I would strongly recommend you to apply. The staff application deadline is April 6, 2011. The deadline is fast-approaching, please apply today!

Transcript of 2009 NAD Youth Leadership Camp video:
Y. Youth. L. Leadership. C. Camp. Hi. By looking at the quote, I feel inspired. I am Jennifer Yost-Ortiz, the Director of Youth Leadership Programs. Where am I!? I am at YLC (Youth Leadership Camp) in Oregon. Right now, such an exciting time, YLC celebrates its 40th year anniversary. Since its inception, there are over 2,500 YLC alums and I am proud to share that many YLC alums have become successful in their lives and in various areas such as employment and college. In addition, many YLC alums have received PhDs. YLC alums are the reason why YLC has remained strong for the past 40 years. Many campers congregate here from different backgrounds; some from local schools, some from large mainstream deaf programs, some from schools for the deaf, and some from other countries. Quite a diverse bunch, but we share one common goal – becoming leaders of tomorrow. For the whole month, we receive constant, positive stimulation in different ways. Some schools and communities share their strengths and weaknesses. However, as campers learn, they receive an all-around exposure that they do not receive at their schools and communities. At YLC, campers learn and develop their abilities and share them when they return to their schools and communities.
From now and beyond, next 40 years and many more, we always welcome future campers, staff members, chef, nurse, volunteers, and alums. They are welcome, even to give a presentation or just to visit, anytime. Together, we are one big family.
