kin∙dom community is a queer-led organization creating space for queer belonging and celebration. Inspired by the concept first named by theologian Ada María Isasi-Díaz, we seek to be an example of the interdependent relationships that are possible when all people in the margins are seen, heard, nurtured, and celebrated for their full selves. kin·dom envisions a world where love and inclusion are the norm. In July of 2022, we launched kin•dom camp - a summer camp experience for LGBTQ+ youth that affirms the goodness and wholeness of their identities. This program epitomizes what we work to create in the world - a culture of life-saving relationship, affirmation, and joy. Campers will have the chance to experience all the fun that camp has to offer in a week filled with community and celebration.
