Inclusion Statement

Lantern Light Camps strives to be a model of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We recognize that every individual’s journey is unique, and we value and celebrate the experiences, characteristics, and perspectives that make each person who they are.

We believe the only way to effectively address the issues that face our communities is to bring diverse individuals together to work collectively in a positive and supportive environment. Together we work to ensure that people of all walks of life, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, sex, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation, has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.

All members of the Lantern Light Camps community and those we interact with have a right to be treated with respect, caring, and honesty.
