About
Camp Taloali Summer Program includes outdoor recreational programs such as disc golf, camping, and swimming. The program takes place on a private camp property that also offers a swimming pool and cabins under trees.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Price: It costs $5 to play disc golf and parking is free.
Camp Taloali Summer Program is part of Camp Taloali Inc., a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote camping skills through an outdoor camp environment with emphasis on communication, leadership, and social development for deaf, deafblind, deaf disabled, and hard of hearing participants while partnering with other community youth. The camp’s disc golf course is an 18-hole course carved out of the forests of Camp Taloali using existing trails and opened on October 10, 2009. The course is described as one of the most scenic disc golf settings in the Pacific Northwest and highlights the rugged beauty of the Santiam River and the surrounding Cascade foothills.
Camp Taloali began in 1972, and the first camp brochure was created in early 1973. In 1978, an additional 63 acres were purchased, bringing the total camp property to 111 acres. The first camp director was Julian Singleton, and the first camp cook was Bernice Singleton. Leadership over the years has included Steve Moore, a former Board of Director who managed the Disc Golf Program at Camp Taloali; Doug from Lions Club, who served on the Camp Taloali Board for many years; Jeffrey Howard, who also served on the Camp Taloali Board for many years; and a Summer Program Director. The name Camp Taloali means “Bird Singing” in an Indian language.
Disc golf at Camp Taloali is used by the community as a way to raise money to maintain the course and to support Camp Taloali’s mission. Donations, fundraising, grants, and volunteers support the camp, including contributions of donations, equipment, helpers, and funds from Lions Clubs and various organizations. The National Guard has helped with land leveling and various projects. Volunteers from associations, athletic clubs, churches, and staff from Oregon and Washington Schools for the Deaf have contributed. The World Deaf Timberfest Committee has donated proceeds to the camp since 1982. Camp Taloali Summer Program registration is open, and camper scholarships are available.
