🌈Pride Camp registration is officially OPEN!🌈

Pride Camp is a free weekend for LGBTQ+ teens and allies (ages 13–17). We’ve worked hard to eliminate cost because no young person should miss out on community, affirmation, and creative expression due to finances.

📅 June 26–28, 2026

Friday: 6:00–10:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM
Sunday: 2:00–6:00 PM

If you know a teen who could benefit from a week of community, affirmation, and creative expression, send them our way.

When the Pride flag came down at Stonewall National Monument, young people were watching. When it went back up, they were watching too. Visibility matters

Activists have defied the Trump administration by reinstalling a pride flag at iconic Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan.

After the Pride flag was taken down from the Stonewall National Monument, community members and allies came together to put it right back up, standing proud and visible.

The Pride flag was removed from Stonewall.

For LGBTQ+ youth, this is a message. About whose history is allowed to be visible.

UE Pride Camp does not teach outrage for its own sake, but literacy: how to recognize when power is trying to manage memory and how to keep speaking anyway.

That’s why we build spaces where truth doesn’t have to ask permission.

While traveling, Jonathan, our new Pride Camp Student Director, met Jim Obergefell, whose fight for marriage equality changed so many lives. Pride Camp is rooted in helping young people understand the histories that made their lives possible, and leaders who carry that awareness into the work bring something deeper to the role. We’re excited to see what Jonathan brings to Pride Camp this year.

Today, the Q***r Memory Project honors World AIDS Day by remembering the lives and stories stitched into the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
At Pride Camp, we carry that legacy forward by teaching the next generation to understand this history and to celebrate q***r resilience.

Today on World AIDS Day, we honor the lives and losses stitched into every panel of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Our campus community contributed to this Quilt in the early 1990s, and through the Q***r Memory Project, we’re working to bring those panels home to remember, to learn, and to keep telling the stories that should have never disappeared

Memory is resistance.
