Summer camps have sprouted up for most niches, ranging from gay grown-ups who want to be kids, to camp for kiddy spies. One of the more practical concepts is one specifically for children with LGBT parents.

Camp Highlight, a weeklong overnight camp for kids ages 8 to 15, is for children who have one or more LGBT parents. Founded by social workers and long-time camp counselors Chris Hudson and Jackie McGowan, it is in its inaugural year.

The camp will run August 20 – 27 in Wernersville, Penn. at the South Mountain YMCA campgrounds.


We’ve been working at camps for as long we can remember and volunteering together for nine years,” said McGowan. “We spent each year driving home from camp in Pennsylvania discussing how we want to create a camp that has great meaning to us. Chris was inspired by the COLAGE float he saw each year in the NYC Pride parade. So Camp Highlight was born!”
