Privacy Policy - Ten Oaks Project

Camp Ten Oaks has shown me that I can be whoever I want to be. And, nobody can ever judge me for that.

The sense of belonging and community that I get from Ten Oaks is something that I can feel year-round.

As staff, we create an intentional space for our campers where for one week, they don’t have to be afraid or ashamed of anything about themselves.

I can credit the beautifully diverse chosen family that I now have to Ten Oaks. It’s filled a great void in the community for me.

Being a camper has opened my eyes to the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, to the diversity of the group I’m a part of.

The best part of Project Acorn for me was seeing how much love and support is built in such a short span of time.
