It's our second-to-last day here at EYF. We stop to take another
group photo before we go to breakfast.
Leah and Claudine are standing, while Angela, Sinead, Jen, CK, Amy,
Allison, and Susan are sitting on the floor.
Steve and Amy talk it up on the bus.
The group photo from Seabreeze Amusement park. Ali's note
here, appearances can be deceiving. That roller coaster goes much
FASTER than you think it does.
The boys proudly show off their new basketballs.
EYF Campers and staff hang out while waiting to leave the amusement
park. It has been a fun culmination to the past couple days.
Susan is full of excitement! I think she's been out in the sun
too long. :-)
Here's a BIG grin from Susan.
Allison, Russell, Nicole and ?, are in good spirits.
Jason is content after a long day's work
Steve, Amy, and Allison are having fun.

Debbye says "Let's Go!"
EYF is listening to Debbye's instructions before we board the buses
to go back to RIT/NTID to see our parents and have fun.
Matt, ?, Edgardo, and Chris are thinking about the delicious dinner
that we will have when we get back to school, but they still relax enough
to smile for a picture.
Angela, Stefrose, and CK pose for a pic with one of the main guys in
the program.

The RAs celebrate and whoop it up during their skit.
The RAs get ready to perform the NTID/RIT Cheer.
Erin says "Hey, What's going on?" Everybody's running around
"GROUP HUG!" The RAs collapse in a big group hug.
The NTID/RIT cheer is lead by two of our fearless leaders, Kamau and
CK. Is it any surprise that they are both 6th Floor counselors?
Go 6th Floor!
The 9th Floor group waits in the background as one of its' members explains
what their skit is about.
The 8th floor group performs a skit based on the elevators that kept
breaking during camp. This is their plan of revenge if they catch
the people who keep jumping on the elevators.
"Come on!" We're almost to shore! Team work!
Land ho! Land ho! The 7th floor group works together to
get everybody safe on the "island" using teamwork.
And finally, the 6th Floor North girls.
Leah, Susan, Amy, Sinead, Claudine, Allison, and Jen.
The "hearing world" and the "deaf world"
Sinead, Claudine, Allison, and Jen interact in the "deaf world"
Leah, Amy, and Susan talk in the "hearing world"
The battle of the "hearing world" and "deaf world". We can all
be friends and get along with each other, only if we choose to work with
each other and understand and accept our differences.
6th Floor South boys skit.
RIT's very own Buffy. Susan as the famous vampire slayer.
Justin's gonna get it. Susan's closing in on him with the stake.
"NO MORE PICTURES!" Says Susan. Keep away from me with that camera!
Shoo! Shoo! But it's too late, the camera's already got her.
Steven and Angela. You can't talk any more, okay ,Angela?
Steven tapes Angela's hands together to prevent her from talking.
*For those of you who don't get this, in the hearing world, to make
someone be quiet, you put a piece of tape over a person's mouth.
In the deaf world, we talk using our hands. So it is the deaf way
of putting tape over your mouths.*
Joe surprises Susan at 1 a.m. in dorm room #6004. Allison snaps
the picture without Susan's knowledge. (Gotcha Susan!)
