Volunteer CAMP MULBERRY
RESIDENT CAMP PROGRAMS
-
Summer Session 2026 - DATES COMING SOON!
The Laurel Foundation’s Camp Mulberry is the nation’s first free resident camp program specifically for transgender youth ages 6-17. The program is based on traditional camp programs, yet caters to the unique mental and physical health of transgender and gender-diverse youth. Camp Mulberry’s program empowers transgender youth in a gender-affirming environment, filled with volunteer role models. Our mission-driven program seeks to grow our youth into confident and independent young adults!
Last year we have made some big changes to help make camp more accessible to volunteers from all over the country by incorporating online training, which can be completed at your own time but before our in-person training. There will then be a two day of in-person training in Pasadena, before camp and then one day of training during pre-camp near Big Bear Lake, CA.
We hope this change will allow more volunteers the opportunity to be a part of The Laurel Foundation’s summer camp programs.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: JUNE 1, 2026
