Edmonton's summer camp for trans+ and gender-creative kids aged 6-13!
Camp Dragonfly is a summer camp for trans+, gender-creative and gender diverse kids, their siblings, and friends.
Since the summer of 2018, Camp Dragonfly has hosted a summer camp and a diversity of events each year, so far serving over 160 families from Alberta and beyond.
Our mission is to bring trans and gender creative children together for creativity, connection, and celebration.
By hosting a summer camp that encourages self-exploration and affirmation, we embrace children of all identities and experiences.
Camp Dragonfly has been supported by and hosted at SSUC since its inception.
At Camp Dragonfly, as well as our other events and programs throughout the year, we are proud to provide role models for queer youth and families by prioritizing gender-diverse volunteers.
In the past, the children have had the opportunity to participate in photography, cooking, drama, yoga, art and crafts, nature walks, playground, dance, story time, nail art/makeup, kickboxing and more!!
Camp Dragonfly offers a fun, engaging, non-religious, and safe(r) summer camp experience for children, opportunities for parents and families to find support, and broad community outreach.
SSUC is an affirming spiritual community that seeks to live out this commitment to supporting and celebrating 2SLGBTQ2IA+ through action. Seeing a deep community need for programs to support young trans+ and gender diverse children, SSUC supported the creation of Camp Dragonfly and continues to sustain it through funding community space, and countless volunteer hours.
SSUC celebrates and affirms the inherent worth of each child, exactly as they are, and is committed to a program that is accessible to all trans+ and gender-creative children.
