Camp Lightbulb was founded in 2011 as one of the very first camps for LGBTQ+ youth in the US or anywhere. We recently joined other camps in signing a joint statement from affirming camps. Read it here.
We celebrate our youth with magical summer experiences filled with fun, pride, community, friends, support, self-discovery, and memories to last a lifetime. This year we are expanding the definition of summer camp, creating a summer of joy and resilience. Stay tuned for updates.
We have welcomed more than 2500 youth from across the US and around the world, to week-long, overnight camps in the heart of key vibrantly queer Los Angeles, Provincetown, and New York City.
Each camp is unique and incorporates our core principles of Art, Community, Fun, Learning, Outdoors, Service, and Wellness.
Campers can expect a mix of fun, inspiration and celebration: including arts & crafts, workshops, discussions, tours, company visits, inspiring speakers and themed parties, including our Queer Prom.
Registration is now open for 2025. Join us by registering below. We offer financial assistance on a Pay What You Can basis. To apply, or if you have any more questions, please get in touch.
