Action Camp is a 5-day sleepaway camp that brings together LGBTQ+ youth from across Illinois to learn from one another and shape the safer schools movement.

I have been attending Action Camp since 2018 as a part of my job at Youth Services. It is my favorite week of the year! Every year, I get to watch young people grow, learn, and teach each other the power of community and advocacy. It is a truly magical experience for all who attend!

“Action Camp gave me hope for the future. Now I know I can grow up and be happy, have a job that brings me joy, and be absolutely free.
