Welcome Message
Ross, Founder & Director
Hello! Since 2004, The Naming Project has provided a sacred, faithful "set apart" space for LGBTQ+ youth interested in exploring their faith journey. Our program looks like a pretty traditional church camp, but we are NOT a conversion therapy camp. The activities, conversation, and community are what make the week so delightfully queer. We know it's a difficult time for LGBTQ+ youth, and we hope we can provide a place of respite.
