An interview with the founder and president of the first camp for trans youth, Nick Teich.  Nick describes many challenges that trans youth face as they grow up, particularly as they enter puberty and begin to develop secondary sex characteristics of the sex that feels wrong to them.  The camp is for ages 8 to 15 and is designed to offer a safe place where kids can express the gender that feels right to them, among others doing the same.  He tells stories of campers who benefited tremendously from meeting other kids like them for the first time in their lives.  Nick also describes some of the medical options available to kids to delay puberty until they are old enough to decide whether to transition.
