Are there Summer Camps for deaf kids and hearing adults?

Question

My wife and I are both hearing adults, and we have a deaf grandson, Anthony, who will be 17 this July. He lives in Virginia. My wife asked me to find a summer program that she could attend with Anthony where they could be in the deaf culture while at the same time enjoy a summer vacation together. Anthony has some other health problems, but is generally able to take care of himself. Grandma Linda would be able to handle the other health problems. He has limited signing ability, as does my wife who is partially deaf.
