SUMMER QAMP
Jennifer Markowitz; 2023; Canada; 79 min.
Nestled in the woods of Alberta, Canada, sits camp fYrefly, a summer camp for LGBTQIA2S+ teens, set away from the fierce political battle currently being waged against queer expression and gender identity. SUMMER QAMP follows a group of campers from their home life to the freedom of settling into an all-queer youth summer camp. From the outset, this film is filled with the excitement and nervousness that comes with being in an all-queer space for the first time, creating community, and finding mentors in the queer counselors. This heart-warming documentary shows the camp as a much-needed respite for the queer youth community, a place to let your guard down and be freely yourself.
