3rd - 5th Program (Youth who have completed grades 3-5)

• Designed to meet the specific needs of upper elementary school students, the 3rd through 5th grade crew will do art projects, play games, and embark on a scavenger hunt. Our fast paced and interactive activities will provide opportunities to talk about gender and identity, allowing children to meet others with similar experiences and to participate at their own comfort level. This unique and engaging camp is designed to be a safe space for exploration and curiosity, while wearing out even the most energetic kids!

K – 2nd Program (Youth who have completed grades K-2)

• Adventures abound at K-2 kids camp! We'll organize ourselves into home groups, play in small and large groups, create imaginary worlds, and explore the campus while making friends and creating tools for self expression and understanding along the way. 
• Bring a water bottle, comfortable shoes, and get ready to explore! Also, please be sure to apply ample amounts of sunscreen to your camper each morning before camp begins and at the end of lunch.

Childcare and Pre-K Program (for all children from birth to pre-K)

• Childcare is available for all youth who are not yet in Kindergarten. Please be sure that any childen needing childcare are included in your reservation so we can adequately prepare for our youngest conference attendees.

CONFERENCE SUPPORT CENTERS 
Once more, we are excited to provide Conference Support Center services in a variety of areas: legal, spiritual care, medical, and mental health. This service allows for more personalized conversations with professionals and is designed to allow attendees to raise specific issues related to their family or context in a more private setting than workshop sessions allow.

This wonderful resource can be accessed in two ways: sign up in advance by emailing supportcenters@genderspectrum.org. In your email, please indicate the support center for you wish to make an appointment (medical, counseling, legal or faith-based). Once the conference begins, you can also come to the Info Center and signing up for one of the appointment slots. We encourage you to make appointments ahead of time for the limited slots. Once you make your appointment, come by the Info Center and conference staff will provide specific information for accessing the center. 

Support Centers are located in Filippi Academic Hall - FAH; please be careful not to confuse FAH with another building on campus called Filippi Administrative Building!
