Info of inclusion of LGBTQ+ Campers
As a part of our commitment to living our values of belonging and accessibility, we have all-gendered our Summer Camp accommodations and washroom facilities. An all-gender accommodation means that campers can expect to share an accommodation with fellow campers of all genders, gender identities, and gender expressions. This change represents a shift towards making camp a more welcoming and inclusive environment.

In order for campers to maintain privacy when dressing, we will continue to have private changing stations in cabins and next to Sibley tents, as well as private stalls in all of our washroom facilities.
