Family Summit
Family Summit is more than a retreat
It’s a space where families raising Deaf and Hard of Hearing children can breathe, connect, and be poured into. Over the course of a few days, parents and kids step away from the noise of everyday life and into a Christ-centered environment filled with encouragement, real community, and practical support. You’ll meet other families who truly get it, grow in your faith together, and walk away reminded that you are not alone in this journey.
Each weekend is intentionally structured to balance learning, connection, and rest.
- Mornings: Coffee, connection, and time in God’s Word
- Parent Workshops: Practical teaching, real conversations, and encouragement
- Kids Programming: VBS-style activities led by Deaf adults
- Afternoons: Hands-on activities and free time to relax and play
- Evenings: Meals, worship, and meaningful family moments to close the day
What makes Family Summit special is the heart behind it.
We believe communication matters, identity matters, and faith matters—which is why sign language and Deaf culture are woven into the entire experience. This is a place where families are strengthened, kids are seen and celebrated, and everyone leaves a little more confident, connected, and rooted in Christ than when they arrived.
Interested in Hosting a Family Summit in Your Area?
We believe the impact of Family Summit shouldn’t stop when the weekend ends—which is why we’re committed to bringing these retreats to communities across the country. By partnering with local churches, we’re able to create spaces where families can not only attend a Summit, but also stay connected to ongoing support, discipleship, and community right where they live.
If your church has a heart for families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing children and wants to be part of hosting a Family Summit, we’d love to connect. Whether you’re ready to partner or just exploring what it could look like, reach out to us at adminteam@deafkidsconnect.com to start the conversation.
