Dr. Judi Oliver launches Real Deaf Stories with Jeff and Mary Kathryn Wolfe, directors of Camp Dove. In part one, Jeff shares his journey navigating progressive hearing loss from childhood, while Mary Kathryn reflects on growing up hearing in a family with deaf siblings. Together, they discuss how their unique perspectives shape their work creating an inclusive camp community for deaf and hard of hearing children.
