A summer version of our year-round Swallowtail Adventures program, Swallowtail Camp provides a safe and fun space for trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer youth to explore the natural world, gain wilderness skills, and build community with one another.
We will learn survival skills, explore friction fire, make woodland crafts, play games, practice sensory awareness exercises, follow tracks and more. Within this caring container, young people will learn, play, take on healthy challenges, step into their leadership, and just be themselves!
