By immersing TGNB youth in backcountry adventures and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones, we give them opportunities to learn valuable skills and boost their self-confidence. We're opening up the world of outdoor recreation to those who are often excluded. Our program creates a queer affirming space that acknowledges and respects the life experiences of TGNB young people, fostering a sense of learning, community and confidence-building.

 

Now led by the incredibly talented Nat as our Outdoor Adventure Program Coordinator, we have expanded OAP from our original single night backpacking trip during camp. We are proud to announce that we now offer full backpacking resilience retreats for small groups of teens ages 14-17 as well. On these 5-night/6-day expeditions, participants will learn a variety of wilderness survival skills, leadership skills, make friends, and gain community.
