Camp Shout Out is a one-of-a-kind program located within a typical, overnight summer camp environment.  For over a decade, CSO has gathered youth who stutter ages 8-18, board-certified fluency specialists, speech-language pathologists, graduate students, camp staff, and volunteers for approximately one week to grow as communicators. Guided activities are designed to encourage each participant to grow as a communicator through engagement in positive, motivating, and fun communication experience. There is also an intensive clinical training program for accepted speech-language pathologists and graduate students. An optional Leadership-in-Training program is offered for high school campers. The Treatment and Training Program at Camp Shout Out is directed by Kristin Chmela and includes additional fluency specialists who serve as faculty.

Participants will need to be able to understand topics of discussion with like-aged peers.  There is a small fee for materials to participate. Scholarships will be available based on need.
