Team L Who?
The 52nd annual Youth Leadership Camp (YLC) welcomed many people from diverse backgrounds! Aside from our differences, there is one thing that we all share in common, which is the experience of attending a renowned deaf youth camp virtually. On the first day of #VirtualYLC, 49 campers broke out into 4 teams: teams L, E, A, and D. Each team had to come up with a name and sign name for our teams. An honor was given to us, team L, to write the first Daily Drum newsletter. We are so excited to announce the new brand of our team! We brainstormed, reflected, and discussed for two full days and decided that “iViperFly” represents us as a whole, especially as a team. “Viper” is used to represent the fact that our bond is so strong that an outsider would change the entire dynamics of the group. “Fly” represents our desire to grow, succeed, and lead as a group. Because of the one-of-a-kind virtual experience of YLC this year, the letter “I” was the final puzzle piece and “iViperFly” became the perfect name to replace Team L. Written By Cal Trapani
