Campus Pride annually hosts a summer camp for LGBT student leaders and their campus allies. I've spoken with several students and advisors who have attended in the past, and they absolutely rave about the experience. One person told me that, by far, it was the most meaningful leadership experience she had ever had.
This summer's event will be held at Towson University near Baltimore, Maryland, July 21-26, 2009. It's five days of learning how to make your campus a safer, friendlier place for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
You will spend time learning about grassroots coalition building, working with faculty and staff, best practices for campus organizing. And, of course, you will make amazing friends and a network of student leaders facing similar challenges. My understanding is that this camp is appropriate for students from all types of campuses.

They are offering an early-bird registration fee for those who sign up by April 17. If only they had had something like this back in 1987! Wow!
