Camp Taloali Summer Camp offers summer camp programs for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children and youth. The camp’s name, Camp Taloali, means “Bird Singing” in Indian language. Camp Taloali Inc. is a nonprofit organization.

The mission of Camp Taloali is to promote camping skills through an outdoor camp environment with emphasis on communication, leadership, and social development for deaf, deafblind, deaf disabled, hard of hearing while partnering with other community youth. Camp Taloali’s disc golf course is used by the community as a way to raise money to maintain the course and to support this mission.

Camp Taloali began in 1972, and the first camp brochure was put together in February or March of 1973. The original 48-acre campsite was purchased from the Kochs, and in 1978 an additional 63 acres were purchased, bringing the total acreage to 111. The disc golf course was carved out of the forests of Camp Taloali in 2008–2009 and opened on October 10, 2009. Arrangements were made with the National Guard to help with land leveling and various other projects, and donations and support have come from groups such as the Lions, Lionesses, the Timberfest Committee, the Street Rod Club members, donors, volunteers from associations, athletic clubs, churches, staff from Oregon and Washington Schools for the Deaf, and other people. World Deaf Timberfest Committee members have donated proceeds to the camp since 1982.
