Step away from your iPhones and screens—it’s time to reconnect with nature, friends, and fun! Experience outdoor adventures on the lake, surrounded by the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains.

At Camp Mark Seven, our Deaf Teen Camp is designed to inspire teamwork, leadership, and lifelong friendships.

“My daughter’s first camp experience was CM7, and nothing else has compared since. She loves it so much we’re coming back for the fourth time—and I trust the camp so much I’m sending her on a plane alone next summer.”

“CM7 has been part of my life since I was eight years old, and now my own children attend. The friendships, adventures, and memories from camp last a lifetime.”

“My favorite memory is the closing campfire. Everyone shares what camp meant to them, and it really shows how strong the bonds are. Plus, the s’mores!”

“Working as a counselor in the KODA program changed my life. The relationships and experiences I gained at CM7 are something I would never trade.”

“Our son has thrived at CM7, gaining confidence, independence, and friendships while building a stronger connection to the Deaf community.”

"CM7 helped me understand my Coda identity in just a few weeks in ways that might have taken years otherwise.”

“CM7 has been the highlight of my summers. Every year feels like coming home, everyone treats each other like family.”

“My experience at CM7 cemented my decision to become an ASL interpreter. My signing improved tremendously, and I met incredible people along the way.”

“The Coda Retreat at CM7 is validating, heartfelt, and unforgettable. It’s a rare place where everyone simply understands.”

“CM7 nourishes a part of me that doesn’t exist anywhere else. It’s a place where Codas can simply be themselves and leave feeling renewed.”

“Being surrounded by other Codas at CM7 was powerful. For the first time, I didn’t have to explain my life, everyone already understood.”

“CM7 embodies the values that sustain the Deaf community: leadership, fellowship, and a place that truly feels like home.”

“CM7 feels like my second home. The community, faith, and activities renew my spirit every time I attend.”
