Important: 2020 Update!
|
As is probably evident, we were unable to host our usual four-day retreat in August due to the pandemic - and hosting the same type of event later in the year also poses some safety concerns.
That being said, the Camp Leadership Team has been hard at work the past few months trying to figure out how we can still offer a variant of Camp Eclipse. We want to be able to provide support to our community and make those important connections that happen at Camp each year. Camp Eclipse: OUT in the City is our compromise. In lieu of a four-day sleepover retreat, we will be hosting a modified weekend "day camp" at The Lantern in the city of St. John's. To ensure everyone's safety, standard Covid-19 precautions will be in place for all attendees - including physical distancing and mandatory masks. The official dates for CAMP ECLIPSE 2020 are: - Friday, October 23 (7-9pm) - Saturday, October 24 (9am-6pm, +optional evening event) - Sunday, October 25 (9am-6pm, +optional evening event) We will also have a limited capacity at Camp this year. As such, we will be prioritizing space for our youth participants (Campers and Youth Leaders, ages 16-24). Stay tuned to our social media for the link to applications when they become available.

Camp Eclipse: OUT in the Woods is a four-day leadership retreat for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and their allies from across Newfoundland and Labrador. The program is run annually by Planned Parenthood - NL Sexual Health Centre and YWCA St. John's.
Through their participation in a variety of workshops and activities, campers, youth leaders, and mentors develop and enhance their leadership skills and their knowledge of 2SLGBTQIA+ history, activism, sexual health, healthy coping strategies, and so on. The nature of the workshops, facilitated by the mentors and youth leaders, varies from year to year, while maintaining a focus on leadership, personal growth, activism, and advocacy.
