A playful deep-dive into identity, connection, and possibilities.

This entertaining, joy-fueled session uses humor and storytelling to explore what gender is, what it isn't, and how it shapes everyone's sense of self—sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of gender and a renewed commitment to loving themselves, exactly as they are.

A guide to asking the right questions and knowing the right answers.

Everyone is equally deserving of joy, belonging, and safety—and that includes queer and trans kids and their families. This presentation offers practical tools and insider knowledge to help families and ERG members find camps and other programs that are not just inclusive in name, but safe and affirming in practice.

A practical guide to weathering the storm by orienting to joy.

We live in a time when news is noisy and the pace of change is disorienting. It can be challenging to stay grounded and even more difficult to navigate the harms our communities are experiencing. This presentation focuses on regaining our footing and re-orienting to our greatest strengths--joy and the magic of community.

Joy is an essential element to the way TQAMP chooses to do its work in the world.  Which is no surprise, because TQAMP is an organization founded by a group of long time camp staff members who both ignited the joy of camp for others, but also found joy at camp themselves. This presentation is a joy story about camp- that we think can change the world.
