The Rowe Center has a long history of social justice and social awareness. For years Rowe Camps have worked to be a pillar of safety, equality, and responsibility in the lives of the youth who make up our community. We live in an ever-changing world and Rowe strives to be on the forefront of positive change and growth.
Over the past few years our community has begun to include more queer, trans, and questioning members. To help welcome campers coming into camp who may not have a traditional sense of gender, we offer a Gender-Neutral cabin option.
What this means is that campers who choose to be in this cabin are provided a space where they do not feel the pressure to identify with a common gender binary of “boy” and “girl.” It is also a space for those who are interested in being an ally around issues of identity or for differing reasons prefer to be in a gender-neutral cabin.
By providing gender-inclusive spaces at Rowe, we aim to create a camp environment where campers can be the most comfortable with those with whom they live. It is our mission to foster an atmosphere that values diversity and promotes the dignity of all campers.
