Accessibility

Accessibility

Accessibility is not a feature here, it is the reason the camp exists. None of the following is provided on request — it is simply the standard.

Communication

  • Everyone on the team signs — kitchen and medical staff included.
  • More than half the team is deaf.
  • Sessions supported in International Sign, Turkish Sign Language and ASL.
  • Every announcement is shared both visually and in writing.
  • Tactile sign language support for deafblind participants (with advance notice).

Safety

  • Vibrating and strobe-light fire alarms in every bungalow.
  • A vibrating alert wristband for every participant.
  • A visual emergency drill run with everyone on day one.
  • Medical staff on site 24/7 who sign.
  • Visual wayfinding and high-contrast signage across the site.

Physical access

  • Wheelchair-accessible bungalows, bathrooms and common areas (reserved on request).
  • All main paths are step-free and ramped.
  • Lower-difficulty alternatives for the trekking and kayaking activities.
  • A quiet, low-stimulus rest room open at all times.

This website

  • Built to WCAG 2.2 AA; text contrast is at least 4.5:1.
  • Everything works by keyboard, with visible focus indicators.
  • All videos are captioned; the introduction video includes sign language.
  • Reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion) is respected.
  • The application form was tested with screen readers and works without JavaScript.

Something missing?

If the adjustment you need is not listed here, that does not mean we cannot make it. Write to us and we will talk it through. There is also a dedicated field for this on the application form.
