Student Summer Program - Exploring the Great Outdoors

NMSD’s summer program is specifically designed

to provide deaf and hard of hearing children

with the unique opportunity to open their eyes

and experience new ideas, situations, people

and cultures.

Students are encouraged to take safe risks and

to challenge themselves intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and communicatively.

The underlying philosophy of NMSD’s summer program is to create a setting that promotes

hands-on, experiential learning opportunities.

It also offers a place where academic and

non-academic activities come together in fun

and adventurous ways.

Tuition and room and board for this two-week adventure are provided free of charge to eligible children and youth from New Mexico who will be

in grades K-12 this fall.

Children ages 6 and above can stay in the residential cottages. Preschoolers ages 5 and

under can attend as day students.

Personal spending money and transportation to and from the NMSD campus is the responsibility of the parents/guardians. Space is limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
