Bob Rumball Camp for the Deaf
Come back soon for link to 2025 Applications!


We believe that every child should have a camp experience. A place where they will experience “I can do that”.
We have been camping for over 60 Years. In our first year in 1962 we served only 8 campers. We have grown since then yet our core value remains the same: delivering one of a kind camp memories without communication, physical or financial barriers. The best summer of your child’s life is waiting for them: Deaf Camp 2025.

Drop off and Pick up Times:
Campers, Parents, Guardians and Caregivers – please take note of the time listed below.
Drop off is between 3 pm and 5 pm.
Pick up is between 8:30 am and 11 am.
Please note that the smooth running of the camper sessions depends on respecting these drop off and pick up times.
Late pick ups will result in an additional fee.



Daily visits to the tuck store are included in your camper fee. This includes one drink and one large candy item or 2—3 smaller candy items. So, your camper does not need to bring any money and we encourage that as money does seem to disappear!
There are additional items that can be purchased from the Tuck shop: sweatshirts, hats, water bottles, sunglasses etc. If your camper would like to purchase these items we will contact you. If you approve we will set up an e-transfer and send the items home with your camper. For those campers being picked up at camp the Tuck shop will be open for purchases.
Reminder: please do not send money with your camper.
In attempts to keep camper costs down and to be better stewards of our environment and water usuage we cannot do camper laundry except in emergency situations. Please send an extra bag for your campers dirty laundry to come home in.


Please help us get your campers’ belonging back home! Best way to do this? LABEL everything! Some people send a list of what they have sent and that can help too.
On the last day when all campers and staff are together we hold up each lost and found item (not including underwear) for all to see and hopefully claim. What is not claimed is left out on a table until the bus leaves in hopes of being claimed. Every year there is still lots of items left at camp.
We hold onto all lost and found items for 3 months after camp is finished after which we wash them and donate what is left to our local clothing bank.
Contact Jloewen@bobrumball.org if you want us to look for a specific item. If found we will arrange for it to get to the BRCCED for pick up.

Campers come to camp with a full suitcase and sometimes they go back home with one not so full!!!
We understand this is frustrating for caregivers and campers.
To help us get your camper’s belongings back home please label all clothing with a laundry marker and send the list in the camper application checked with your child’s items and quantities packed and brought. This helps us sort the lost and found and get it into the right campers bags.
For a complete list please check out our website but here are a few key Items often forgotten:
- Water bottle— helps the kids stay hydrated as well as cuts down on waste and that is best for the environment. PLEASE PUT YOUR CAMPERS NAME ON THE WATER BOTTLE WITH PERMANENT MARKER. On the bottom is a good place as well as anywhere else.
- Hat. We are outside as much as possible and a hat helps prevent heat exhaustion. (Don’t forget to label it on the inside somewhere)
- Waterproof sunscreen
- Insect Repellent—non aerosol please
- Beach Towel
- Pillow case for dirty laundry to be taken home
- NO SNACKS can be brought to camp—homemade or bought due to allergies. Unfortunately any snacks brought will be removed and disposed off and not given back at the end of the session If there are special circumstances due to food allergies please arrange special accommodation with the Director. Such food arrangements will be held in the camp office and or camp kitchen and given to camper at arranged times.
