Camp fYrefly is Canada's only national leadership retreat for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified, two-spirited, intersexed, queer, questioning, and
allied youth. The camp, which was founded in 2004 by Dr. André P. Grace and
Mr. Kristopher Wells, is designed to help youth develop the leadership skills
and resiliency necessary for them to become change agents in their schools, families, and communities.
All of the camp workshops and guest speakers help youth to develop their very own fYrefly fuel designed to help them keep their inner light shining bright during dark times.
Camp fYrefly participants vow to help fight against discrimination, prejudice,
and oppression in all of its many forms, and to help others in their time of
greatest need.
