Action Camp
Our largest youth leadership convening of the year, Action Camp is a 5-day sleepaway camp that the Alliance co-hosts with Youth Services each August, bringing together leaders from GSAs and youth groups across the state to learn from one another and shape the safer schools movement. 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.
Action Camp 2025 will take place from Monday, July 28 to Friday, August 1. Applications are now open!
