Camp Haven

A nonprofit organization

Camp Haven, established in 2023, is a groundbreaking initiative that addresses the urgent demand for a nurturing and empowering space for LGBTQ+ youth in Texas. Committed to fostering inclusivity and support, our camp is distinguished by its innovative approach, seamlessly blending traditional camping activities with peer-supported group therapy sessions led by licensed counselors.

 At Camp Haven, we believe in going beyond the conventional camping experience. Our dedicated team of volunteers is not only passionate about creating a safe haven for young individuals to embrace their true selves, form enduring friendships, and acquire essential life skills but also recognizes the significance of mental and emotional well-being.

What sets Camp Haven apart is the integration of peer-supported group therapy sessions facilitated by licensed counselors. This unique combination provides campers with a holistic environment where they can explore nature, partake in traditional camp activities, and engage in therapeutic discussions with peers and professionals. This dual approach aims to create a comprehensive and transformative experience, promoting personal growth, resilience, and a sense of    community.

Join us at Camp Haven, where the beauty of nature meets the strength of community, offering LGBTQ+ youth in Texas a one-of-a-kind opportunity to thrive both personally and emotionally.

Mission

We believe that every LGBTQ+ youth should have the opportunity to thrive, irrespective of their background or circumstances.

Our mission is to provide LGBTQ+ youth a safe place to enhance their self-esteem, independence, and self-confidence in their identities. It has the potential to significantly improve the mental, emotional, and social well-being of campers by providing valuable skills for navigating their journeys toward self-acceptance and resilience.
