Alberta
Camp fYrefly started as a University of Alberta initiative in 2004 by Kris Wells and Andre Grace; by their 10th year the camp had helped a 1,000 youth. In 2018 the University decided to consolidate with the Calgary fYrefly. The official statement cited the cause of the change was due to restructuring of the University of Alberta's Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services which oversaw the camp. The same year, the university released a statement that camper's private information had been breached. The breach was believed a mistake by an employee and was contained.

Edmonton's members of the old Camp fYrefly's Youth Action Committee planned to start their own LGBT camp in 2018 called Queer Scouts YEG, to be held at the original camp's location, Pigeon Lake.

In Ottawa,Ten Oaks Camp was started in 2005 by Holly and Julia Wagg. A sister project was started in 2009 for older youth, called Project Acorn.

Rainbow Camp was founded by Harry Stewart and started August 5th, 2012, initially running out of Camp McDougall near Thessalon, Ontario. A success, by 2016 the camp had resorted to creating a waiting list as it could only have 35 youths in a single week session. Colin Mochrie and Deb McGrath are supporters of the camp and have assisted in raising funds since 2017, wanting to support their daughter's transition.
