“What most people call camp, I call home.”
At Brave Trails, we establish a close-knit community where each camper is embraced and cherished for their authentic selves. We take pride in our service to numerous LGBTQ youth traveling from 50 different states, representing 17 countries, and spanning 4 continents!

FAMILY.
Every day, LGBTQ+ youth see a world that doesn't always meet their needs. But what if we showed them a different one?
At Camp Brave Trails, we create a space where campers can truly thrive—free from judgment and fear of exclusion. Here, they find their people, place, and passion. During camp, they’ll meet supportive LGBTQ+ mentors, build lifelong friendships, gain leadership training, and, of course, have tons of fun!
But Brave Trails is more than just camp. We’re a year-round community offering family camps, activities, and LGBTQ+ affirming mental health services. We’re here to bridge the gaps in LGBTQ+ resources that many of our campers don’t have access to in schools or local communities.
It's no wonder the word we hear most from our campers is home.
