The Sertoma Fantasy Sports Camp for children who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as those with speech and language impairments, began in 1997. With the generous support of many volunteers, businesses and organizations in the community, the camp has thrived and continues to grow. Our goals are simple:

  • Meet several Kansas City T-Bones players and mascot "Sizzle"

  • To help kids learn and play baseball

  • Allow them to spend time with similar peers

  • Encounter adult role models who are also deaf or hard of hearing

  • Have access to communication support, such as interpreters, as needed

  • Meet and be instructed by sports legends

  • Bringing back lacrosse that was introduced to our Sports Camp last year. See below for details.

  • Soccer will be introduced to our Sports Camp this year. See below for details.

The Sertoma Fantasy Sports Camp is a camp for speech and deaf or hard of hearing children, ages 8 to 14 (under 8 may attend with parent present). The camp allows these very special children the opportunity to interact with each other while learning the All American sport of baseball.

The Johnson County Sertoma club funds the cost of the camp, including interpreters, supplies, snacks, drinks and equipment. In addition, members of our club voluntarily organize it, run it and assist in coaching and mentoring the children. We also develop individual and corporate sponsors who provide lunches, other goods and services.

The Kansas City T-Bones baseball club provides support for the camp. Several players and the club mascot, Sizzle, visit the camp to the delight of the campers.

Youth Lacrosse and Soccer Camp
The Johnson County Sertoma Fantasy Sports Camp is happy to bring back a youth lacrosse camp for a second year and introducing soccer for the first year. Lacrosse, the fastest game on two feet, is a Native American game that has become the fastest growing team sport in the US and Canada. Camp attendees will be introduced to the game by Rockhurst High School Lacrosse Coaches and high school All-Americans in a non-contact, fun-filled, teaching/learning environment. The attendees will learn the fundamentals of the game including ground balls, catching, and shooting. All campers will be provided with a stick (unfortunately, they must be returned) balls and a reversible jersey.

Attendees will receive instruction from State Champion Coaches and players and will get to play mini games where their skill set will be put to use. Again, this is a non-contact camp and safety is of utmost concern. Tennis balls will be used to get the attendees acquainted and may be used throughout. For more information on the game check out www.uslacrosse.org. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Farr-Fahncke at susan@2TheHeart.com.
