🌞 This summer, give your child more than just a camp — give them a new way to connect.

At Pioneer Therapy, we’re thrilled to introduce Rise & Sign, our American Sign Language (ASL) Summer Camp designed specifically for kids ages 9 to 14. Taking place from August 11–15 at our Lincoln Park clinic (2232 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago), this immersive experience gives kids the chance to learn ASL, make new friends, and explore Deaf culture — all while building confidence in a safe, nurturing environment.
