Annual Spring Retreat (ASR)

That’s right! It’s time once again for ICRID’s Annual Spring Retreat. This year’s theme is “We’re Going Places: Come With Us!” and it will be held at Goshen College. The ASR is an awesome opportunity for ASL students, interpreting students, and working interpreters to learn side by side while forming community connections. The ASR is an immersive experience where all participants are encouraged to use only non-verbal means to communicate. Be that via ASL, gesturing, or old fashioned paper and pencil, all participants will learn (or take a refresher course) on how Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals make their way in a hearing world. To make sure that everyone follows this rule, there is a modest penalty of 25¢ per word spoken. Make sure you bring a roll of quarters if you’re inclined to be chatty!

If you are a high school student and/or a minor, please have your parent or guardian fill out and mail in the printable form. We need a signature from your parent or guardian. 

***Please note, participants are expected to bring their own bedding and toiletries if they are staying overnight.****
