Mission Statement
Transforming LGBTQ youth and families into leaders through summer camp and innovative programming.
About This Cause
What we do: Brave Trails is more than just your average summer camp. While we have a lot of elements of a typical camp, our main focus is helping our gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer campers grow into the brave leaders they are destined to be. Our program focuses on four key elements: Leadership, Community Building, Self Realization, and Service. We use workshops, adventure, creative programming, service projects, peer connections, and positive role models to create a safe space where youth can thrive. With the skills learned at camp, our campers will be primed to thrive in their schools, workplace, and personal life. In addition, our campers will have the knowledge and confidence to be more impactful leaders and implement innovative social change in their communities. Why We Do It: Brave Trails was formed to respond to the needs of the large and growing population of LGBTQ youth. There is not a summer camp anywhere in our target area, which specifically serves LGBTQ youth in a leadership capacity. We believe camp provides a unique outlet to build leadership and community while exploring the outdoors and just having some good old fun! Given the current climate of inequality in our world, there is a need to empower the next generation of LGBTQ leaders and give them the tools to continue in the quest for justice and civil rights, for all.
