Camp Pride Spots Still Available for July 12-16, 2023

Founded in 2007, Camp Pride is one of the longest-running LGBTQIA+ summer leadership camps for youth and the only one of its kind for college students. It continues to be the premier national training academy for social justice and grassroots activism for LGBTQIA+ and allied young adults at colleges and universities. 

Camp Pride is open to all undergraduate students from two-year, four-year, Minority Serving Institutions (HBCU, TCU and HSI) and religiously-affiliated colleges and universities.
