Chest Binders and Sleeping Bags: Summer Camps for Transgender Kids as Young as 4 the New Craze

From New Hampshire to California, overnight summer camps for transgender children as young as 4 are cropping up all over the United States, with many operating from secret locations where counselors reinforce campers’ gender dysphoria with voice training, makeup sessions, and other “trans-centered activities.”

At Camp Lilac, an overnight camp in an undisclosed location in Central Ohio, more than 100 kids as young as 12 are free to “socialize, grow, and express themselves in an environment without caregiver supervision,” according to its website. By “caregivers,” the site refers to parents, who may volunteer at the camp but cannot attend sessions with their own children. A typical day at Camp Lilac includes “trans-centered activities” such as makeup and hair tutorials and voice training.

“My son has to have his defenses up and maxed all day, everyday until he gets home,” said one parent quoted on Camp Lilac’s site. “At camp, he’s just who he is! Unapologetically! Running around in his [chest] binder and not having to explain himself.”

Camp Mulberry, located in Southern California, is a free camp for transgender children as young as 6, according to its website. (Read more from “Chest Binders and Sleeping Bags: Summer Camps for Transgender Kids as Young as 4 the New Craze” HERE)
