Help Fund Camp Indigo Point

We're Camp Indigo Point, a two-week sleep-away camp for LGBTQ+ youth, and especially trans and gender-expansive campers. We were started last year by a group of activists (and camp friends) in the effort to create an oasis for LGBTQ+ campers to just be themselves - something that is becoming more challenging to do in the political climate of our southern and midwest states.

What we created was *magical*. We filled every one of the 97 camper-bunks we had with campers from 27 different States! This year are expanding and offering a two-week camp at a larger camp facility where we are excited to host close to 200 campers and staff for weeks of archery, swimming, arts, sports, and campfires!

Camp Indigo Point is now an established board of leaders with a Camp Director, and is proud to be fiscally sponsored by PROMO, Missouri's LGBTQ+ advocacy organization.

The work we are doing at camp is sacred; it is gifting LGBTQ+ youth a community to show up with their whole selves. We deeply believe that we are saving lives because there are youth, teens, and adults that have these weeks of total acceptance and celebration of who they are.

We have committed as a camp to the value that the greater the financial need of a camper, the more important it likely is that they be at camp. Because of this we have given out enormous amounts of scholarship. In addition, we have priced camp even at full tuition at about half the cost of a normal sleep-away camp ($1400).

So the long and the short of it is this: we need to raise $60,000 more to pull this off. To pay for scholarships, staff, and heart-breakingly - for security.

To those that have donated--please know how incredibly we grateful we are to you for partnering with us.

With love,

The Camp Indigo Point Team
