One of the country's few camps for children in lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) families, Mountain Meadow was established in 1981 by Philadelphia Rabbi Julie Greenberg. There were seven campers.

A total of 64, most from the Philadelphia area but also from Maryland and New York, attended this summer's two-week session, ending a week ago.

Children of LGBT families face unique challenges, says executive director Steve Duffy, 47, a gay man raised in a traditional Northeast Philadelphia Catholic family.
