Friends-- I'm so thankful for your donations to support the critical Queer Camp program. You're really making a huge difference for our LGBTQ and allied students to create space, a sense of belonging, and a supportive community. We're halfway into the campaign and halfway towards the goal of raising $5,000. If you could reach out to your networks to ask them to consider making a contribution as well, it would mean a lot to us. We find that one-to-one conversations work the best. Thanks again for your support! --Nick

All of you collectively made it happen; we surpassed our $5,000 fundraising goal. All additional funds will go towards enhancing or expanding the program and then potentially towards securing the future of Queer Camp beyond 2014 as well.

It's not too late for your friends or networks to join in -- we'll be keeping the online campaign open for the next week, so know that any additional funds donated will also go to this great cause. Donations may continue to be made at: http://ter.ps/queercamp

Thanks again for your contributions and for being a part of our Queer Camp family. The students thank you and the LGBT Equity Center thanks you.

Donors and Friends--

Thanks again for your support of the Queer Camp program. Just a quick update -- all summer we've been receiving student applications for the Queer Camp 2014 retreat, and the program is popular as ever. We'll be selecting the attendees by early September. If you know students (especially incoming students) who should apply, send them to http://ter.ps/qc2014

Our student leaders, mentors, and advisors have also been hard at work on developing the retreat content for this year. The content is being created under three themes that we hope to make the longer-term themes of the Queer Camp program: identity development and self-support, engagement on campus, and community building.

Once the camp takes place in September, we'll have some wonderful photos and experiences to report back to you. Again, thanks for your support of this critical program.
