it really makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing such a place even exists. I actually just recently got out of a bad friendship where I was berated and lectured on how I was going to hell for being pansexual and for liking girls. I wish I could be there... :0(
Reigna Mitsuhero aw man I'm sorry to here that. You should totally apply to Camp Brave Trails! It honestly changed my life and all the people there were so kind and welcoming :)
I don't know why this is being reccomended to me now four years later, but I went to camp brave trails this year(not this one specifically, the one in Maryland so it was a bit different) and I can confirm it is as amazing as it looks!!! It is such a wonderful place and honestly one of the best times of my life. I loved it so much. I met some of the best friends I've ever had there and we only were with each other for one week. As a queer teen I really appreciate that I have this space available to me and I can say in confidence that it has improved so many aspects of my life. Every counselor and staff member there is amazing and so so supportive, there are so many great programs and workshops there and I learned a lot. Everybody was so passionate and friendly and that made it so much easier to be myself. One of the most incredible things in my opinion was that nobody ever needed to explain or justify any parts of their identity and could really just be who they are. You could use whatever names or pronouns you want and switch them at any time without being questioned. It's such a freeing place to be yourself and I love it so much. Please support this camp, they're doing amazing things and I want it to be available to as many people as possible!!
This is incredible. I sure wish they would have had something like this when I was young. If you came out in my school, you were pretty much signing your own death sentence. Hats off to the folks that made this a reality. I can't even imagine how many lives you have affected in a positive. As an older Gay man, in just want to say thank you. Good stuff!! ❤️🏳️🌈❤️🏳️🌈❤️
going here july 2022, i just got officially accepted the other week, i'm gonna be testing for my black belt in karate a few weeks before the camp so my july sure will be eventful!!
I’m not out yet and I never want to come out since my whole family is very against the lgbtq. My cousin is a lesbian and my whole family hates her, so if I come out will they hate me? This camp would be a dream come true, but I’ll never be able to go.
Me watching all their videos knowing full well I could never attend because of the cost and because my parents would most likely give a firm angry no 😔
