Camp Mark Seven offers 72 beds total. Most are bunk beds, so we limit registration for the Active Deaf Adult Week to approximately 36–40 participants to ensure that each camper can have a lower bunk whenever possible. Rooms are typically shared by two campers, though occasionally a third or fourth person may be assigned if needed.
We want every camper to enjoy their time at Camp Mark Seven to the fullest. However, because our beautiful site and main lodge are more than a century old, some areas are not fully accessible. The camp does not have elevators or accessible pathways to the beach or lawn areas. Adult campers should be able to climb stairs to reach dorm rooms, the dining hall, and other common spaces, and navigate uneven paths and hills between the Lodge and the waterfront.
