The Naming Project

One week to go! In just 7 days, The Naming Project Summer Camp 2026 begins. Soon, LGBTQIA+ youth will gather in Minnesota for a week of faith, identity, friendship, courage, creativity, and summer camp joy. This year’s theme, “Brilliantly Resilient,” reminds us that resilience is not only about surviving. It is also about laughing, resting, singing, playing, creating, praying, wondering, and being known in community.

Campers will have the chance to build meaningful peer connections through conversations, campfires, crafts, swimming, games, and shared experiences that help them feel seen and supported.

Thanks to the Megan J Jones Memorial Scholarship and the Chicagoland Alumni Association of Delta Lambda Phi for investing in a more inclusive, representative and financially accessible world.

Supporters, this is your moment to help make camp possible. Donate, share, and invite someone who may know an LGBTQIA+ youth ready for this experience. Visit www.thenamingproject.org.

We are 8 days away from The Naming Project Summer Camp 2026, and the joy is building! This year’s theme, “Brilliantly Resilient,” invites LGBTQIA+ youth to see themselves as radiant, courageous, and deeply loved.

Camp will be filled with meaningful conversations, creative expression, campfires, games, swimming, quiet time, spiritual exploration, and the simple magic of being surrounded by peers who understand. This is community care in action. This is youth ministry with heart. This is what happens when LGBTQIA+ young people are given room to breathe, belong, and shine.

We are 10 days away from The Naming Project Summer Camp 2026! In just ten days, LGBTQIA+ youth will gather in Minnesota for a week of connection, faith, friendship, and joy under the theme “Brilliantly Resilient.” Camp is where peer community becomes powerful. It is where youth can laugh together, create together, worship and wonder together, ask honest questions, and discover that they are not walking this journey alone. From campfires to crafts, from games to quiet reflection, every moment helps build a community rooted in safety, dignity, and love.

Donors, your support helps keep camp accessible, secure, and welcoming. Your gift helps a young person experience belonging that can echo far beyond one summer week. Register, donate, or share at www.thenamingproject.org.
