This year, over 40 high school student leaders from across Wisconsin will convene on the UW-Whitewater campus.

Within one of seven small group “Rainbow Teams” guided by adult and peer mentors, campers will spend four days building community and leadership skills that they will take back to their school communities to foster safe, inclusive, and more just learning environments for all. Our 2026 camp theme, We All Have a Role, celebrates the diversity of strengths that we each bring in igniting social change - and reminds us that many hands make light work in actualizing these systemic shifts. It’s also inspired by Deepa Iyer’s Social Change Ecosystem Map - a resource that GSAFE has leveraged across our Youth, Educator, and Family programs for decades.

Throughout our nearly three decades of camp, GSAFE has remained committed to accepting all interested campers regardless of their ability to pay, made possible by the generosity of supporters like you who give to our annual Send an Activist to Camp fundraiser.

By donating any amount now through the end of July, you can help ensure that our next generation of leaders from across the state feel the power of belonging and community building at our 2026 Leadership Training Institute with unabashed pride and excitement.
