Deaf Camp Jaspel welcomes Deaf juniors and CODA juniors aged 13–17 from all around the world!
The main goal of the camp is to develop leadership skills and strengthen pride in sign language and Deaf culture among young participants.

Each group of juniors must be accompanied by one leader aged 18 or older, who is proficient in International Sign.
Every leader will be responsible for a group of 7 Deaf juniors or CODAs.

Countries are welcome to send multiple groups, but each group must always follow the 7+1 structure (7 juniors + 1 leader).
Leaders are responsible for their group’s safety, well-being, and communication, as well as for managing any issues that may arise during the camp.

The camp is located in a small village called Výtoky, near the town of Piešťany. This peaceful location is situated approximately 98 km from Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava.

The camp will take place from 20 – 27 July 2026.
It begins with dinner on 20 July and ends with lunch on 27 July.

We recommend booking your flight, bus, or train tickets so that you arrive no later than:

• 1:00 PM in Vienna (Austria – Vienna Schwechat Airport), or
• 2:00 PM in Bratislava (Slovakia – M. R. Štefánik Airport).

A shuttle bus will be available from both airports to Výtoky (for an additional fee).
Return shuttle bus fees (round trip):

• Vienna – Výtoky: €79
• Bratislava – Výtoky: €65

The camp program will focus on developing leadership in sign language through a mix of playful education, sporting activities, cultural activities, and lectures. The complete schedule will be set and published by the end of May 2026.

If you would like to give a lecture or offer an activity in your area of expertise, please email a short description of your session and your profile to jaspel.ck@gmail.com. From the submitted proposals, we will select the ones that best fit the program.
