SUMMARY:Camp Dragonfly
DESCRIPTION:Camp Dragonfly is a summer camp based in Edmonton\, Alberta with a goal to create a safe and welcoming space for trans* and gender-creative youth where they can be their authentic selves\, meet trans* role models\, and have fun. We are a summer camp for trans* and gender-creative youth age 6-13. \nOver the past 6 years\, Camp Dragonfly has provided this opportunity to over 160 families from Alberta and beyond. This year\, our team wants to increase the number of families and youth that we reach\, and invite them to take part in the impactful experience that is being known and loved exactly as they are. \nOur campers have given us feedback that while at camp\, the stressors and pressures of their day-to-day life seem to fade away. Through the connections\, confidence\, and skills they build at Camp Dragonfly\, they are able to maintain that resiliency throughout the year. \nClick here for more information about this year’s camp! \nClick here to register a camper! \nClick here to volunteer with Camp Dragonfly!

SUMMARY:CCS Friday on Engaging Youth in Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, 15 youth from across the church participated in the United Church of Canada’s first ever Climate Motivators program. Each student was sponsored by\, and in partnership with\, a local community of faith where they worked together on local climate justice or environmental needs. \nThe motivators connected online and in-person to learn how to be leaders\, worship\, be in nature\, act for change\, and influence church policy. \nOur special guest will be Amy Crawford\, team leader for Faith Formation and Mission with the General Council of the United Church of Canada. Amy has just returned from a short sabbatical where she was reviewing and evaluating what happened to the youth and the people they interacted with. She will share some of her insights about getting youth involved in educating about climate change. \nCCS Fridays are free. Please register to receive a zoom link\, here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZclduiqqTMqHdzVZnAl2bcp5TI2oUuC5d7z#/registration \nCCS Fridays are online conversations to help us respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are open to anyone who might be interested. There will be a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing\, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.
