What we do.
The Pony Barnes Foundation believes in the power of camp to build young leaders, connect families and communities, and enable individuals to achieve their true human potential. The LGBTQ+ community now, more than ever, needs the immersive and nurturing experiences that only camp can provide. That's why we are dedicated to supporting camp experiences that promote belonging and connections for LGBTQ+ youth and their families.
