SERTOMA - Schiefelbusch Summer Programs
Each year, the Lawrence SERTOMA Club and Schiefelbusch Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic collaborate to host Sertoma-Schiefelbusch Summer Programs, formerly known as Communication Camp. The camps have evolved in shape, size, and content over the years, and we are excited to continue offering several unique group programs in the Summer of 2026.
The Sertoma-Schiefelbusch Summer Programs bring children together to explore their world and improve their communication skills while participating in fun activities. The programs are staffed by students and faculty from the Schiefelbusch Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic.
