Our charity partner for the 2012 Emerald City Hoedown will again be Camp Ten Trees.

Camp Ten Trees is a nonprofit organization offering summer camp sessions in the Pacific Northwest, featuring a week for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and allied (LGBTQA) youth, and a week for children and youth of LGBTQ and/or non-traditional families.  Since their first session in 2001, they have been committed to developing a camp community that honors creativity, individual choice, and community living.  Camp Ten Trees’ summer sessions and year-round complementary activities are for youth connected to LGBTQ communities and provide opportunities for campers to strengthen inner courage, make new friends, and develop leadership skills through traditional camp programming.

Camp Ten Trees volunteers will staff portions of the weekend events.  Proceeds from the coat check will go directly to the charity, plus a split of other event proceeds will benefit the organization.
