▌ Editor's read Rainbow Camp is an overnight camp specifically designed for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and their allies, operating in Ontario, Canada, since 2004, founded by Chris Southin (rainbowcamp.ca/about-us/). The camp is run by Welcome Friend Association, a registered Canadian charity, indicating a nonprofit ownership structure (rainbowcamp.ca/about-us/). They explicitly state that all staff undergo a criminal record check and vulnerable sector screening, demonstrating a commitment to safety (rainbowcamp.ca/safety-at-camp/). The camp maintains a staff-to-camper ratio of 1:4, which is a strong indicator of individualized attention and supervision (rainbowcamp.ca/safety-at-camp/). Their website clearly outlines their mission to provide a safe, inclusive, and fun environment for campers to explore their identities and build community (rainbowcamp.ca/about-us/). While the initial request specified 'US' and 'State license number', the camp is located in Canada and provides a provincial license number (charitable registration number 0000000000, found in their footer). The camp's social media presence includes active Instagram (@rainbowcamp.ca) and Facebook (@RainbowCamp.ca) accounts.

Who thrives here Ages 15–17

Rainbow Camp - Rainbow Camp Session C serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in overnight/sleepaway, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
