LGBTQ youth and kids of LGBTQ families often face discrimination and homophobia in addition to the usual challenges of being young. Youth need to form communities of their own, and to be supported as they grow older and learn to make new choices and decisions.

By providing this resource for young people in our communities, Camp Ten Trees shows that we recognize the needs of youth, and that we want their experiences to be as rewarding, as educational, and as stimulating as possible.

By creating positive experiences for youth, we counter the forms of violence and discrimination that youth face every day. Camp Ten Trees provides a supportive, safe, and creative environment. We offer as many activities as possible to help campers discover new talents and interests. Camp Ten Trees brings diverse young people together to strengthen the youth community of today and build the communities of tomorrow.
