Pride Camp

Pride Camp flag

Empowering queer/questioning youth and allies to discover their authentic selves and build a caring, supportive community of peers.

Spend a week living on campus at the University of Evansville for this first-of-its-kind summer camp! Build lifelong friends with incredible activities throughout the week while learning about social justice and activism. Hear powerful stories of LGBTQ+ history and heroes – and learn how to write your own story your way.

Sessions/activities include:

  • Telling your own story
  • Biology of sex and gender: What is it? What is it not?
  • Future of LGBTQ+ concerns in politics.
  • Exploration of LGBTQ+ in religious studies.
  • A reflection room
  • Outdoor games and activities

Guest camp counselors and speakers include members of the Evansville community, Pastor Craig Duke, UE professors from creative writing, biology, political science, and more.
