Camp Ten Oaks is a two-location, one-week each sleep-away camp for children and youth ages 8-17 from 2SLGBTQ+ (two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer) identities, families, and communities. The program first opened its doors in August 2005. It doubled in capacity in 2018 with the addition of our second location, allowing for nearly 200 campers.

Camp Ten Oaks is the first and only summer camp of its kind in Canada. We offer children a space where they can feel not only accepted but celebrated. For many campers, our program is the cornerstone of their year.

Our programming variety allows campers to receive instruction, strengthen old skills and develop new ones with the option to participate in outdoor adventure, waterfront, arts, social justice activities, and sports. We empower children and youth through play that enhances self-esteem, life skills, independence, leadership, and self-confidence.

Camp Ten Oaks is a flagship program of the Ten Oaks Project, a charitable organization that engages and connects children and youth from 2SLGBTQ+ (two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer) identities, families, and communities.

Our camp program is offered to campers and families on a sliding scale basis.
