Overview
The Child & Teen Program serves children ages 0 through 17. The goal of the program is to provide safe activities to engage and entertain your child(ren) over the course of the AG Bell 2010 Biennial Convention. In 2008, more than 100 children of all hearing abilities participate in the Child & Teen program.
The Child & Teen Program, held at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, is a three-and-a-half day program and runs all day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and a half-day in the morning on Monday, matching the schedule of the Convention educational sessions. All activities are monitored by professional childcare providers, and overseen by AG Bell staff.
Children age birth through three will remain onsite at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek for the entire program, and those aged four and older will participate in onsite programming and in several field trips to offsite learning environments focusing on marine life, science, and animals. Lunch and snacks will be provided.
