Key West Video teamed up with Rainbow Camp to create meaningful and memorable memories through video.

Rainbow Camp, a summer camp dedicated to creating a safe space for LGBTQ2+ youth, is raising money to make its dreams true. We at Key West Video contributed to their online campaign by creating a video to help them reach their goal.

Rainbow Camp is a place where you are free to be yourself and grow as an individual, and it needs your help!  By donating today, you are helping a young person be able to have summer fun in an inclusive, non-judgmental atmosphere. Camp should be fun, not matter who you are or where you go.

It’s a place where LGBTQ youth are able to stand strong, be proud, embrace and explore all of their unique qualities while learning to canoe! This camp needs to open for the community and their voices.

The camp puts emphasis on the safety of its participants. While the camp primarily is for LGBTQ2+ identifying persons, it does include allies. Key West Video had the pleasure of shooting Colin and Deb Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway) to talk about why this camp is so important.

“Rainbow Camp enables queer youth, regardless of their financial situation to experience the joys of summer camp without worry of judgment or discrimination,” Colin says in the video.

“With so much uncertainty in the world, [the] camp stands as a shining beacon of hope for youth who feel they can’t be themselves in their school, community or social group,” he continues.

The camp takes place just east of Sault Ste. Marie. It was founded in 2012 and has struggled each year to raise funds to make camp financially accessible to those who need it most. The limitations of renting a small camp space and a lack of funding each year has prevented it from expanding beyond 35 campers and 12 staff. Now, they need your help to keep the camp operating each year and to expand to accept more campers who want so desperately to participate.
