Text reads: American Sign Language for the Outdoors: 5 Week Courses. January 13 – March 20, ASL Level 2, Courses are virtual, meet twice a week, with outside of class course work assigned, students have access to a virtual ASL meet up to practice with other students

This course meets virtually Monday and Wednesday 5:00 pm EST for 5-weeks starting on January 13th and ending on February 12th. With a make up course day schedule for the following week, if needed.

American Sign Language II students will refine their use of basic sentence types and try out their skills through interactions, such as giving and receiving directions. Our ASL II courses are taught by a native Deaf ASL signer who has extensive experience working in the outdoor fields and will be able to adjust teaching styles and topics to fit the students’ needs. By the end of this course, students will be able to confidently carry on conversations on topics that are commonly discussed in the outdoors, expand their extensive outdoor-related vocabularies, communicate more efficiently in emergencies like wilderness medicine, a more advanced understanding of ASL grammar and syntax, Deaf culture and etiquette tailored to outdoor settings, and so much more.

CorpsTHAT’s ASL courses use Zoom to meet virtually twice a week and use google classrooms for submitting assignments outside of class time.  

5 Week ASL Courses are $250 per student and $200 for any returning CorpsTHAT student. Use the google form below to register. Once you submit your registration form you will be emailed an invoice and can use the link there to make your payment.
