A SUMMER SAFE HAVEN FOR LGBTQ+ KIDS


PHOTOS FROM CAMP INDIGO POINT, WHERE THE YURTS ARE DECORATED WITH PRIDE FLAGS
AND CAMPERS HAVE A LIBERATED FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

Fifteen years after my sunscreen-filled days of sleep-away camp, I arrived at
Camp Indigo Point in June with the hope that I could immerse myself in queer and
trans joy — an opportunity for which my 13-year-old self could have only
dreamed.

I went on to spend the week with 120 LGBTQ+ kids and 50 LGBTQ+ counselors and
staff from 30 states, braving the sweltering humidity in rural Southern
Illinois. Upon arriving, I was struck by yurts decorated with pride flags and a
morning bugle call preceded by music from Chappell Roan. Soon enough, I observed
a camp with a beautifully liberated freedom of expression.
