 A
UNIQUE SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE - Camp Badger needs your help
Located on 420 acres of beautiful woodlands with a
man-made lake, Camp Badger, home of the Empire State Speech and Hearing
Clinic, Inc. provides a living and learning experience uninhibited by
traditional school buildings and classrooms.
The ESSHC is centrally located in upstate New York, convenient to
Ithaca, Binghamton, Elmira, and Syracuse. Students who attend the ESSHC
come from school districts throughout the state. Out-of-state students
are also welcome to attend.
Children reside in rustic cabins which house 6 to 10 students and are
equipped with electricity. Modern bathroom and shower facilities are
located near the cabin areas. Four counselors/teacher aides are assigned
to each cabin to share the responsibility of 24-hour supervision.
