Camp Aranu’tiq

A few months ago, someone forwarded me some information on Camp Aranu’tiq, which describes itself as:

Camp Aranu’tiq is a weeklong, tuition-free, overnight summer camp for transgender and gender-variant youth ages 8 through 15.

It’s a place where life experiences are shared and lifelong friendships are made.

I emailed the camp director, expressing interest in volunteering as a counselor. I think I’d be a great fit, since I have experience working with and teaching kids, experience in a camp environment as an administrator, and am trans. Unfortunately, I just learned that the camp overlaps with my brother’s wedding.

I’m pretty darn sure I’m not allowed to miss his wedding, so I guess no Camp Aranu’tiq this year… I’ll keep my fingers crossed for next year, though!

In the hall

I was just in the hall, chatting with AR who works at the city’s Arts Camp. Her campers were lined up along the wall, waiting for people to finish in the bathrooms, and one of them called out, “Are you a boy or a girl?”

So I said, “Yes,” and went back to my office.
