WHAT IS THE NEW LEADERS PROJECT SUMMER CAMP?
The New Leaders Project Summer Camp is a week-long LGBTQ+ youth summer overnight camp that aims to strengthen leadership skills, build resilience, and provide opportunities for self-affirming discovery and personal growth. At camp, we strive to foster real connections and relationships between LGBTQ+ youth, allies, and a team of dedicated counselors and staff. We aim to inspire and challenge campers with passionate, experienced, and talented speakers.
