RequiredRequired Question(s)

 

Dear Arizona Resident Applicant,

 

Thank you for your interest in attending the 5th annual OUTdoors! Camp (aka “Gay Camp”). Our 2012 Camp will take place over Labor Day weekend, August 31st-September 3rd in beautiful Prescott, Arizona. This year we will choose 175 LGBTQ youth, ages 12 to 24, from across Arizona around the country to have the experience of a lifetime at Gay Camp! Camp is a place where youth find empowerment in a fun and challenging outdoor camp environment. Camp activities vary and evolve each year and range from educational workshops on topics like “LGBTQ History” and “Non- Violent Communication” to community activities like our 200 person drum circle, horseback riding, and zip-lining! At camp, we enjoy cabin style lodging and shared meals and have plenty of time to roast marshmallows on the fire, ache with laughter from skits, and meet new friends!
