Philosophy: If you’re looking for a camp where your child will be embraced for who they are, The Laurel Foundation is truly special. Their programs are designed to empower youth, especially those who are transgender, gender-diverse, or affected by HIV/AIDS. What sets this camp apart is the deep sense of community and belonging-kids are surrounded by peers and mentors who understand their unique journeys.
Beyond just fun, your child will gain leadership skills, life tools, and confidence that last well beyond the summer. The staff are passionate, experienced, and genuinely invested in each camper’s growth.
Everything is provided at no cost, so you can focus on your child’s experience, not the price tag. With a week of adventure, creativity, and self-discovery, The Laurel Foundation is a place where kids can build lifelong friendships and discover their authentic selves in a safe, supportive environment.
If you want your child to feel seen, celebrated, and inspired, this is a camp that truly delivers.
