CampOUT
July 26-30, 2010

A unique overnight farm and camp experience where young people from LGBT families, ages 8-16, can be productive members of a farming community and share in the fun of summer camp.

Through farm work, and recreational activities, we create a sense of community where difference and diversity are celebrated, and children can be themselves.

Young people have the opportunity to talk openly about their families and about the experience of being from an LGBT family.
