Fantasy Sports Camp

The Sertoma Fantasy Sports Camp for children who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as those with speech and language impairments was launched in 1997.

With the generous support of many volunteers, businesses and organizations in the community, the camp has thrived and continues to grow.

Our goals are simple:

Help Deaf and Hard of Hearing children learn a variety of sports, including baseball, soccer, and lacrosse
Allow the children to spend time with similar peers so nobody feels like an “outsider”
Have some fun by attending a Kansas City T-Bones game. Several T-Bone players and their mascot “Sizzle” also visit the camp to play a fun scrimmage baseball game!
Be introduced to adult role models who are also deaf or hard of hearing
Have access to communication support, such as interpreters, coaches and staff who are fluent in American Sign Language (ASL)
Meet and be instructed by deaf and hard of hearing sports legends from pro and college athletics

The Sertoma Fantasy Sports Camp is a camp for speech impaired and deaf or hard of hearing children, ages 8 to 14 (under 8 may attend with parent present). The camp allows these very special children the opportunity to interact with each other while learning a variety of fun and exciting sports.

The Johnson County Sertoma club funds the cost of the camp, including interpreters, supplies, snacks, drinks and equipment. In addition, members of our club voluntarily organize and run the camp, as well as assist in coaching and mentoring the children.

We also develop individual and corporate sponsors who provide lunches, other goods and services.

The Kansas City T-Bones baseball club provides support for the camp. Several players and the club mascot, Sizzle, visit the camp to the delight of the campers.
