Join us in support of five magical days of youth-led workshops, social events, and community building with youth leaders within the safer schools movement in Illinois! This year, we're excited to hold a hybrid version of Action Camp from  Monday, August 2 through Friday, August 6. During this week, campers will participate in virtual workshop learning and bunk bonding via Zoom during the earlier part of the day and have the option to participate in outdoor, masked, in-person programming for afternoon activities at one of six community partner sites across the state before returning for virtual large-group social events in the evening.

Action Camp is our largest convening of youth leaders each year. Students from across the state come together for five days of youth-led workshops, social events, and community building. This year, we're excited to hold a hybrid version of Action Camp from Monday, August 2 through Friday, August 6.

Action Camp is a space often described as “magical” where youth are able to see their identities reflected back at them, sharpen their critical lens, strengthen their own anti-oppressive frameworks and actively skill-share and practice what it means to create spaces in the world where all identities are safe, supported, affirmed and celebrated. Action Camp is open to youth leaders who are rising 8th graders through rising seniors in high school.  

While we have estimated a cost of $300 per camper this year, no campers are ever turned away from Action Camp for a lack of funds. All donations help sustain Action Camp for years to come! Below are some suggested donation amounts, but all donations to Action Camp are appreciated. Your support helps to ensure the most magical camp experience ever! 

$20.00 covers the cost to ship one virtual camp kit to an attending camper.

$60.00 covers the cost of one Zoom webinar account to host our Action Camp Talent Show.

$100.00 pays our talented youth artist who designed the Action Camp 2021 t-shirts.

$350.00 covers all costs to provide five days of hybrid camp programming to one camper, helping them build leadership skills and community.
