Story
Help youth that identify as LGBTQ+ experience the thrill of Camp True Colors at One Heartland for the summer of 2022!
Camp True Colors is a place designed just for LGBTQ+ youth, where they can have fun and enjoy summer camp activities in a welcoming environment, while building community with peers and adults with similar shared experiences.
Aside from being a LOT of fun, camp builds self-confidence, life skills, friendships, and memories that last long after the last campfires of the summer.
People leave camp different than how they arrived. One Heartland is a safe space for those who need it, and though our family may not be one by bloodline, a found family is just as real and important. Lou, past Camp True Colors participant and current summer staff
Camp True Colors has two main types of sessions:
* Sessions open to all LGBTQ+ youth (including but not limited to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender, or queer)
* Sessions specifically for youth who are transgender and/or nonbinary, or otherwise gender expansive
We are looking for your help to raise the necessary funds to make sure that all the young people who register to attend camp this summer are able. Historically over 45% of campers who register require financial assistance. In order to accommodate those campers, we need to raise $183,000. With your help, we an give the camp experience to the young people who need it most!
