The camps are “designed for students to socialize and learn with friends, gaining a deeper understanding of queer history, health topics and wellness,” according to the university’s advertisement page for the camps.
The middle school camps are for grades 6-8 (ages 10-13). The high school camps are for grades 9-12 (ages 14-18).
”The camp is led by Nicole Kurth, UW-Green Bay Pride Center Coordinator, and Pride Center student interns,” the middle and high school camp descriptions read.
