LGBTQ+ Friendly Summer Camp
We believe that making all members of our community feel welcome, safe, and supported at Echo Hill is one of the most important things we can do as a camp. We are proud to be an intentionally LGBTQ+ friendly summer camp, providing a safe space for our LGBTQ+ campers and staff, while immersing them in a safe, enriching, and fun program. While Echo Hill is not tailored specifically to LGBTQ+ campers, we’ve committed ourselves to be open and inclusive for all who choose to join us.
Echo Hill’s Gender Inclusion Policy
Echo Hill Camp is an intentionally inclusive community, where we not only value and respect all people but embrace and welcome them. Along those lines, we understand that everyone is unique, including in the expression of their gender. Echo Hill is an LGBTQ+ friendly summer camp and accepts campers and staff regardless of their gender identity or expression. As with any sensitive personal information, we consider the gender identity of our participants and staff to be private unless the individual wishes to share it. Any transgender or non-binary person who wishes to keep that information private has the right to do so, and we will not share that information with anyone except medical staff when appropriate.
We welcome transgender and non-binary individuals and are happy to make reasonable accommodations for privacy. However, Echo Hill does not yet have gender-neutral housing onsite. That being said, our goal is to be able to offer a gender-neutral living space for the summer of 2023 for interested campers and staff members. We encourage any camper, staff member, or parent to reach out to us to discuss how best to work with their situation.
