Community Programs - 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.

When I left Project Acorn, the world was a different, more magical, and more manageable place.

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

At Project Acorn, I realized that I can have a powerful voice.

When we’re not busy at camp, you can often find the Ten Oaks Project at a community event with one of our partners! We’ve participated in Pride picnics, co-hosted board game nights, and helped to run storytelling sessions at local libraries. Check out our Facebook events page to see what we have going on!

We also run two monthly community events:

Trans Children and Youth Swim Night

Shaping Parenthood

If you’re interested in partnering with the Ten Oaks Project on your next community event, make sure to contact us! When entering a new partnership and evaluating existing partnerships, we follow the criteria and process defined in our Community Partnership Policy.
