This event is specifically for students who are trans, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, gender nonconforming, gender questioning, agender, gender creative, gender fluid or anywhere else on the gender spectrum.

We welcome applications from any NorCal college or university, including community colleges! If not please email us and we can work something out. We do not accept applications from online-only universities because we want T-Camp participants to be able to return to a campus providing staff or faculty support. If you are based in Southern California, please check out SoCal T-Camp instead: http://out.ucr.edu/programs/t-camp.html.  We do not accept applications from online-only universities, because we want T*Camp participants to be able to return to a campus providing staff support.

Do you identify with the trans community, but aren't sure if you're "trans enough" to come - then please apply!  There is no "trans enough" to be a part of this retreat!

  • You are a college student who is trans, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gender questioning, agender, gender creative, and/or gender fluid or elsewhere outside the realm of gender.

  • You wish to explore your own gender identity/expression and engage in dialogue with others
