Camp is Your Legacy
25 Days Celebrating 25 Years


Whether as a camper, volunteer, donor, or supporter, the thousands who have been involved in camp over the past 25 years have made it what it is today – a place where pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients and their families learn, connect, and grow together. During this special anniversary year, we are excited to celebrate your legacy during the first 25 days of February as we raise the funds to support the 2025 programs.

The 25 Days Celebrating 25 Years fundraising campaign goal is $50,000

We invite you to Continue the Legacy through a donation that will help support Listen CI Camp. The goal is to expand camp in 2026 and we need your continued support to achieve that goal. However, we first need to raise the funds to support the 2025 programs.

Throughout the past 25 years, this program has supported over 5,600 campers, enabling cochlear implant children to achieve a life of independence in a world of listening and spoken language.


Camp provides the hope, confidence, and knowledge that lead to better educational, language, and social emotional outcomes. Through recreational activities, peer mentoring, and educational workshops, participants gain the confidence and skills needed to navigate the CI journey.
