CamPAH! 2026

What: CamPAH! is a deaf-centric program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing youth athletes between the ages of 10-19 wanting to learn or improve their skiing or boarding. OAS thinks the mountain life is full of adventure, fun-filled, and exciting. It is our goal to make sure your child(ren)’s ski/snowboard experience is great. Each volunteer coach is fluent in sign language and is either Deaf, CODA, or an Interpreter.

Hosted annually over President’s Weekend at Hoodoo Ski Area, CamPAH! has supported over 100 young Deaf / Hard of Hearing athletes in beginning their snow sports journey. Since 2013, OAS has worked in collaboration with a local Deaf trained snowboard and ski instructor, Cara Frank. By working together, a Deafriendly space was created on the mountain under the OAS banner. The program, CamPAH captures the sign “PAH” in its name, which in American Sign Language means “finally” or “success at last” in a positive and upbeat way. This sign echoes everyone’s sentiments about CamPAH, a program that’s one of a kind.
