Brave Trails is a national non-profit organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth
leadership. They offer accredited summer camps, backpacking trips, family
camps, mental health services, meet-up groups, and year-round leadership
programming. All of their programs focus on helping LGBTQ+ youth find what
they need most to thrive: their people, their place, and their passion. One of the
most important parts of their mission is making sure that the camps and
programs are accessible to all LGBTQ+ youth. They offer at least $100,000 in
financial assistance every year. Four UUCUC families have sent their youth to
this camp and fully endorse supporting this amazing organization. Please check
out their website (bravetrails.org) for more information and to watch joyous camp videos.
