Pride Weekend - June 28/29

Youth Pride Sleepover - Saturday, June 28th

Our annual tradition is returning from 8:30pm on Saturday, June 28th to 8:30am on Sunday, June 29th. Youth must apply to join, and the following conditions apply:

  • Youth must have sufficient program participation history that staff have an understanding of and confidence in their ability to follow all Lambert House rules during the sleepover.

  • Youth must be in good disciplinary standing.

  • With a maximum of 20 youth, this program fills up, so if you are not selected it is not necessarily because Lambert House has a concern about behavior.

Lambert House will provide snacks and soft drinks in the evening; youth are welcome to bring their own for themselves or to share. We will have access to a mini fridge and microwave only. There will be a 1:5 Adult:Youth ratio for the sleepover. Youth who leave on their own after the sleepover begins may not be permitted to re-enter. Youth may, with adult permission and chaperoning, go on a walking fieldtrip in the area.
