Camp Lightbulb creates life-changing and magical camp experiences for queer youth to connect and build community. Founded in 2011 with an inaugural camp attended by 9 campers, we have since served over 1,500 LGBTQ+ youth at our sleepaway camps in Provincetown, Los Angeles, and NYC.
We focus on fun—not intervention—and incorporate seven main elements: art, community, fun, learning, the outdoors, service and well-being. Our relatively small camps allow for personal attention and a high counselor-to-camper ratio so that everyone gets to know one another, which supports the creation of a lasting close-knit community.
