What are our Youth Retreats?

Our 3-day retreat provides teens a unique opportunity to celebrate their identities in a safe community. Led by trained trans/nonbinary counselors, we create an inclusive & positive space for teens to build relationships with others like them & with supportive role models.

Email retreat@samdevorah.org for more information about the retreat.

Disconnect from the world and be surrounded by nature. 

Be free to be yourself, wherever you are in your gender journey.

Try new things, like ropes courses, trans-centered workshops, s’mores over a campfire, or late-night conversations with other trans and enby teens during bunk time. 

Grow into your most authentic self by receiving a gender-affirming haircut from our amazing stylists or by learning cool nail-painting techniques from your counselor.

Meet new friends and connect with trans and nonbinary counselors. 

Come and see the possibilities of your own future. 

Retreat activities are developed collaboratively with trans and nonbinary youth for trans and nonbinary youth. We respond to what you need at this moment. Each year our retreat grows to best suit your needs. This weekend you can be free to be yourself. You will be supported and validated at any stage in your journey.
