Action Camp 2022: Apply Now!

 

Hello and happy April! Do you know what April means for young people in Illinois?
Action Camp applications are open!
          This year, we are planning for a triumphant return to in-person camp. If you are or know an LGBTQ+ student leader who will be entering 8th through 12th grade for the 2022-23 school year, please let them know about this awesome opportunity. Camper applications are live at https://bit.ly/AC22app and will close on Saturday, April 30.
         For those new to the scene, Action Camp is a 5-day sleepaway camp for rising 8th-12th grade LGBTQ+ students who want to build their leadership skills in order to impact change in their home and school communities. This year, camp will run August 1-5 at our brand new camp home — the location of which will be shared with campers and their families after they’ve been invited to join us at camp. Please know that we will continue to follow health guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and PreventionState of Illinois, and City of Chicago as we plan for camp.
           ALSO: If you are or know an awesome adult ally/accomplice/advocate who might love the opportunity to support Action Camp as a counselor, please share this counselor application link with them: https://bit.ly/AC22counselorapp! As you’ll see in the application, adult supports are welcome to join us for the whole week or for part of the week as relief counselors.
          We are incredibly excited to bring camp back to the woods and look forward to an experience that many of our campers call “magical.” We encourage you to share the above graphic far and wide.
            If you have questions, please contact us at actioncamp@phimc.org.
            We hope to see you — or the young people in your life — this August!
