When conducting a community-wide survey between April and August 2004 to see if there was a need for a camp program for the LGBTQ community, the name Ten Oaks Project was whipped up: TEN (a number that plays with the idea that 1 in 10 people are LGBTQ) + OAKS (a strong tree that hints at the idea of camp and outdoors) + PROJECT (if the organization ever wants to run something besides a camp, it wouldn’t be good to have the word ‘camp’ stuck in the name) Since camp is a program of the Ten Oaks Project, we call it Camp Ten Oaks.
