Camp Ten Trees

Mission

Camp Ten Trees strives to create a socially-just, youth-empowered camp community for youth of LGBTQ+ and non-traditional families, LGBTQ+ youth, and their allies.

Description

Camp Ten Trees is a non-profit organization that offers the Pacific Northwest's only residential camp programs (in the Summer and Spring) for LGBTQ+ youth, youth of LGBTQ+ or non-traditional families, and their allies. Campers range in age from 8-17 years. At Camp Ten Trees, our activities are designed to empower youth through play, education, and loving community support in order to enhance self-esteem, life skills, confidence, independence, leadership, and more. Campers have the opportunity to explore the outdoors, make friends who relate to them, work with adult mentors who reflect their identities, and feel empowered to be their truest selves. Experiencing this affirming and joyful community can be truly life changing for these marginalized youth. Since the beginning, no camper has ever been turned away for inability to pay. It's not just a camp...it's a revolution!
