Camp Ori: Asia’s Only LGBTQ+ Camp For The Youth

Hidden from the noise of the outside world, nestled within the stillness of chosen family, lies Camp Ori_, a sacred ground where warriors of the rainbow train in the art of becoming.

This is no ordinary camp.

This is a dojo, a place of discipline, discovery, and deep connection.

Here, queer youth do not merely gather; they awaken.

Under the watchful eye of the Grandmaster of Ori_ and guided by a circle of dedicated masters, each warrior is invited to step into their own power.

From battles of the mind to celebrations of the soul, every moment is a training ground for truth, resilience, and joy.

At Camp Ori_, labels are shed like worn-out armor.

Here, the only uniform is authenticity.

Every camper is seen not for who they were told to be, but for the boundless potential they already hold within.

This is the Way of Ori_.

This is the path of the queer ninja.

And this is where the journey begins.
