47 trans and gender-diverse high schoolers.
One unforgettable week.
So much trans joy. 🏳️‍⚧️

At Camp Wild Heart, young people painted, wrote, built, performed, made friends, and discovered new pieces of themselves.

One camper picked up a guitar and soon the whole room was singing.

Trans elders shared their stories, showing our campers a future stretching far beyond this moment.

There were hard moments, too. Homesickness. Tears. The weight these young people carry into every room.

But for one week, they didn’t have to defend who they are or prove that they belong.

They just got to be kids: loud, tender, messy, creative, courageous, and free.

That freedom matters.

Because trans joy is not frivolous.
Trans joy is resistance.
Every laugh around the campfire is resistance.
Every new friendship is resistance.
Every young person brave enough to be seen is resistance.

We are the artists.
We are the storytellers.
We are the community that keeps one another safe.
We are the light.

To every camper, family, elder, volunteer, staff member, and supporter: thank you.

You made this joy possible. 💛

And we’re not stopping here. Adult Camp is coming this September, and our Winter Retreat for trans high schoolers returns in February.

Visit the link in our bio to learn more or help fund scholarships—because everyone deserves a place to belong.

What a weekend! 😮‍💨 The energy, the people, the joy...this is what community looks like, and we are so grateful to have been part of it.

Here’s the best part: every sale from our table goes directly toward camp scholarships. This year at the Vancouver Pride Block Party alone, YOUR support helped fund several spots at Camp Wild Heart — a nature retreat where high schoolers get dedicated space to connect, reflect, and just *exist* with people who get it.

That’s the power of showing up for each other. 🔥

And this is just the beginning...we have TWO more Pride events this summer, and every purchase at every table sends another kid to camp. Next up: Camas Pride this Sunday, June 21st! Come find us and help us keep the momentum going. 🧡

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, made a purchase, or just vibed with us. You’re the reason this works. Couldn’t make it and can’t make a future event? Check out the pride merch line on our website!

“Just try harder” sounds helpful. But you’ve been trying hard this whole time.

Sometimes it’s not about effort; your brain is overwhelmed, burnt out, or just… not set up for what you’re asking it to do. That doesn’t mean you’re lazy; it just means something isn’t working.

Small changes help more than forcing it ever will. Lowering the bar makes it easier to start, and once you start, things usually move a little easier. Taking some pressure off matters too; you don’t need to shame yourself into doing something your brain is already struggling with. And having support, even a little, can make a bigger difference than trying to muscle through everything on your own.

If it’s not working, pushing harder usually isn’t the answer. Changing the conditions is.
