Meet the dedicated and passionate individuals who drive Camp Beacon's mission, guiding and supporting our programs, events, and resources for the LGBTQ+ community.

Responsible for designing, implementing, and overseeing engaging, inclusive, and age-appropriate activities and events for LGBTQ+ campers.

Serve as positive role models, mentors, and advocates for LGBTQ+ campers, guiding them through various activities, offering emotional support, and ensuring an inclusive, fun, and enriching camp experience.

Camp Beacon takes a holistic approach to ensuring that LGBTQ+ youth have a safe, affirming, and fun summer camp experience. This holistic approach includes the provision of clinical support, consultation, and technical assistance to support the mental and physical health and wellbeing of campers and staff. 

Ensures smooth operation of the camp by managing registrations, finances, logistics, and communications, while fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ campers and staff.

 As it is important that our decision making be informed by the youth we serve, our former campers have elected two representatives to speak for them at the adult meetings.  It is so crucial to the work we do that it is reflected in our mission statement.  “We are dedicated to providing a safe, affirming, and fun summer camp experience with LGBTQ+ youth.” We have a primary youth representative with a vote on important matters and an alternate to serve in the event of their absence. Any current or former camper can participate in the youth council meetings to weigh in on decision making and planning for future camp sessions. The meetings are youth led, but supervised by members of the mental health team.
