GENDER INCLUSION STATEMENT
Our primary motivation at Camp Shady Brook is to provide an excellent camp experience where all guests are welcome. Camp Shady Brook welcomes all guests, with the intent to provide amazing camp experiences and long lasting memories.
Camp Shady Brook places campers and staff in cabin groups according to their gender identity.
All who attend Camp Shady Brook are given the opportunity to create a “Gender Support Plan”. (A 'Gender Support Plan' is available to any camper who attends CSB. Parents, campers and our Camp Directors work together to create a plan that best
supports the camper and camp community.)/p>
All campers have a right to privacy, including the right to maintain privacy about one’s gender status and/or presentation at camp.
>Access to gendered spaces (e.g. restrooms, overnight accommodations) will be on the basis of gender identity and preference. Gender assigned at birth, physical characteristics, or presentation will not dictate use of gendered space.
Cabin assignments will be made based on gender identity. In the case of non-binary gender identity, campers will be asked to select a cabin gender in which they will feel most comfortable for that session.
