Next up: 2026
Trans Camp is a supportive and welcoming space designed specifically for transgender and gender-diverse youth (ages 9-17). It provides opportunities for participants to build community, develop leadership skills, and explore their identities in a safe and affirming environment. Through activities, social connection, and access to knowledgeable mentors, TYEF Camp fosters self-confidence, leadership skills, and empowerment. Workshop highlights include outdoor activities like kayaking and nature hikes, art classes (such as crafting marbled paper!), farm-fresh food, and nights roasting s’mores and singing around the campfire. We also host support groups, and optional workshops run by professionals on topics from protesting and advocacy to gender-affirming care.
Trans camps are staffed by young adult trans and non-binary individuals, as well as several cisgender allies. All staff have Trans 101 experience and most have years of training and experience. Our staff are Board members, teachers, social workers, upperclassman or grad students in college, artists and creatives and Nurse RN. NEW in 2026, TYEF announces a CIT program. All previous campers (ages 17-18) have the option to apply to be a CIT for our summer 2026 camp.
Trans Camp is more than just an event—it’s a meaningful experience that helps nurture the growth and success of transgender youth beyond camp itself.
