Our mission is safe spaces.
Become A Sponsor for 2026 and Beyond!
At Gracie’s House, we believe that every young person deserves a safe space where they can be their authentic self without fear of judgment or discrimination. That's why we're committed to creating environments for LGBTQ plus youth can express themselves freely and build meaningful connections with peers and mentors. Our annual budget is $140,000. This includes our full operating cost for camps, arts initiatives, and grants. Our goal is to keep all arts initiatives free for attendees, PRIDE Camp at a third of the cost, and offer scholarships, for youth who cannot afford the remaining cost of camp.
Gracie’s House sponsorships range from $250-$15,000 investments. Your sponsorship provides life-saving, life-changing, quality programming that makes life better for LGBTQ plus kids and their families and areas that need the most. Ready to become a sponsor?
2026 PRIDE Camp Registration Info!
PRIDE Camp is a safe space camp, which means your LGBTQ+ child will be surrounded by counselors and staff who have been carefully trained to provide a safe and affirming space and who know how to follow the Gracie’s House Safe Space Code of Conduct. Our award-winning host camp is Camp Conrad Weiser in Reinholds, PA.
Gracie’s House staff will be on site and will travel with campers throughout the busy camp day, providing resources, support, and additional programming catered to our campers’ needs and interests. Special activities for 2026 camp: a writing and expression workshop run by an award-winning author, queer self-defense, and built-in time for mindfulness from a master yogi and longtime friend of Gracie’s House.
PRIDE Camp is sponsored by Gracie’s House and campers are offered a reduced rate from the SMYMCA cost of camp. We also have scholarships available. More info at the registration link above.
Our 2025 camp was great and we’re looking forward to our 2026 season!

Promoting Mental Wellness through Expression is a big part of Gracie’s House. One of the best ways to keep young people safe is to provide a place to express their feelings. We run arts workshops, writing circles, and public performance events for young people to express and share space with others doing the same. Stay tuned for coffeehouses, open mic slams, and fun art / craft nights.
