Born This Way Summer Camp
July 22, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – July 27, 2025 @ 2:00 pm MDT
This 6 day, overnight camp is open to anyone ages 5-17, in the 2sLGBTQIA+ community, their allies or siblings. Staffed entirely by queer adults and trusted allies, this program offers a space where kids can feel safe, celebrated, and truly seen.
We offer the same inclusive and supportive programming as with all of our camps: canoeing, crafts, outdoor education, and more. Every activity is designed to build self-confidence, spark joy, and create a powerful sense of community. Whether campers are exploring their identity or just want to connect with others who get it, Born This Way is a supportive environment where they can be unapologetically themselves.
There are only a few camps like this in Alberta—we’re proud to be one of them.
*Pricing is tiered to accommodate varied financial capacity, and siblings registering receive an additional discount. Volunteer positions available!

Event Listing & Graphics Disclaimer PrideEdmonton.ca is a free, unfunded, volunteer-run community listing platform. We do not generate revenue from our services and do not receive funding or grants from community or government sources. All events and accompanying graphics are submitted by independent organizers. Many organizers operate with little or no budget and may use a variety of tools—including AI-assisted design—to create their materials. PrideEdmonton.ca does not create, edit, review, or regulate submitted graphics, nor do we assess how they are produced. Our focus is on ensuring broad visibility of the many Pride events happening across the region. Showcasing this diversity of programming helps build awareness, strengthen community connection, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Responsibility for all submitted content rests solely with the event organizers. |
