Camp Aranu'tiq: A Safe Haven for Transgender Kids

The smell of campfires in the night air and the sound of Cicadas outside my window reminded me it was summer in Upstate NY. I haven't ever liked summer. It's not just because I am always warm. You'll never see me wear a coat even on the coldest winter day. That wasn't the real reason I disliked summer, my childhood was the reason. I loved school as a kid and I didn't want it to end. I knew that ending of the school year meant loneliness. The other kids looked forward to a summer of playing hopscotch and marco polo in the pool. To most it meant a summer of overnight camps with ghost stories and s'mores to look forward to. I longed for an overnight camp but that wasn't in the cards for me.
