Camp It Up

Camp It Up, Inc. supports and promotes a constellation of programs, including social, camping, performing and visual art, with particular outreach to LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Camp It Up, Inc.'s programs are developed to create and sustain a community that supports each unique family and all family members. During the year, the organization served approximately 106 families (234 people) in one session: Summer Camp over 10 days in July/August. Camp It Up! programs served to strengthen family bonds and provide opportunities for families to experience each other joyfully and respectfully, and to see their family structure and values reflected in the larger camper community, thereby enhancing their individual and familial sense of safety, self-acceptance, and pride. Further, the programs provided opportunities for leadership and skill development among staff and youth, and fostered a stewardship of the natural environment and provided opportunities for the camp community to experience living in harmony with the natural environment.
