SUMMER QAMP (2023)

SUMMER QAMP is a documentary following a group of LGBTQ+ youth at an idyllic lakeside camp in Alberta. The campers enjoy the traditional summer camp experience in a safe, affirming environment.

Buried within the woods of Alberta, Canada sits camp fYrefly, a haven for LGBTQIA2S+ teens, far away from the fierce political battle currently being waged against queer expression and gender identity. SUMMER QAMP invites audiences into the innocence and joy of a summer away with friends, while never losing sight of the bravery of these young protagonists whose very existence is challenged in their normal lives.

Press for SUMMER QAMP:
“Summer Qamp is more than a film for me. It changed my life and showed me just how much my era of queers, and those who came before us, can gain from spending time with a generation of queer futures.” – CBC
