Camp Lightbulb is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, that has operated as one of the longest-running camps for LGBTQ+ youth. Its mission centers on providing summer camp experiences that emphasize fun, pride, community, self-discovery, and lasting memories for campers who identify along the full LGBTQ+ spectrum. The organization serves young people aged 14 to 18 from across the United States and deploys a fully vetted staff to reflect the communities it serves. Historically, it has hosted in-person camps in Provincetown, New York City, and Los Angeles, creating inclusive spaces for connection and support. In response to the constraints on physical gatherings, Camp Lightbulb initiated a series of virtual camps that began in January 2021 and continued throughout the following months. This shift demonstrates the organization’s adaptability in sustaining its program of online engagement for campers as part of its ongoing commitment to providing community, inspiration, and safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth beyond traditional camp settings.
