The suicide rate amongst Queer teens is ginormous… If these little moments, laying in the snow, looking at the stars, can help give them just a tiny bit of resilience, then I want to keep giving them camp. So I never turn anyone away.

I’m really inspired by that whole concept of bringing people together… I’m really fed by relationships and connecting people, and I don’t think I’m going to tire of always creating new ways to do that. The practice of sauna-ing and meeting new people in that context can help a lot of people.
