A Nature-Based Program for Queer Teens
Join Kip & Stevie (RCC) for this fun, 5-day Spring Break program for Queer Teens! Full of outdoor activities, wildcrafting and art making. Participants will be welcomed into an inclusive space to learn together and to connect with their love of nature while building their skills in self-confidence.
This nature-based group is for Queer youth between the ages of 14-17 who face mental health challenges and/or social isolation. (*Teens ages 13 or 18 are welcome to apply to discuss the option with the facilitators.) The Queer/Trans experience will be centred throughout the week together. We have found that this important, supportive affinity connection encourages a deeper sense of belonging, resilience and celebration.
Once registered, the facilitators will reach out to conduct a 30 minute intake with each participants’ parent/guardian to ensure the group is a good fit, and to better understand their needs.
Participants can also opt to privately book an additional individual 1:1 counselling session with Stevie after the camp, which is recommended for integration support (but not required for participation).
“I loved how I could just be myself and just come the way I was, and everyone accepted that. I loved the inclusivity in general, and I made lots of friends, which was awesome.”
