Colorado University Axes Plans For Children’s ‘Sex Ed Summer Camp’ Hosted By Abortion Clinic

The University of Colorado Boulder (CU) sought to partner with an abortion clinic to host a now-canceled “Sex Ed Summer Camp” for incoming 5th through 8th grade students.

The event, hosted in part with the Boulder Valley Health Center, planned to cover topics such as “bodies beyond the binary” and “gender and sexuality.” The health center announced the camp was canceled due to “safety concerns,” the clinic’s website states.

“Sex Ed Summer Camp is everything your camper won’t always get to learn in school!” the now-removed CU webpage exclaimed. The camp also promised to be “justice-rooted” and “affirming,” according to advertisements.

The Boulder Valley Health Center specializes in “reproductive and sexual health,” its website boasts, highlighting abortion and “gender affirming care” on its frontpage. The clinic specifically mentions offering “confidential” services for minors. (RELATED: Colorado Dems Say The Quiet Part Out Loud Pushing For Taxpayer-Funded Abortion)

“We understand how important privacy, or confidentiality, is to accessing medical care,” the center’s teen clinic page asserts. “We will not talk to anyone else about your visit, results, medications, or any other aspect of your care unless you give us specific permission to do so. Patient confidentiality also applies to patients who are under the age of 18.”

The teen clinic lists vast “affirming” resources for minors questioning their gender.

The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment was met with an automatic reply email repeating the same language as the website.

“Due to safety concerns, the Boulder Valley Health Center – CU Boulder’s Renee Crown Wellness Institute’s Sex Ed Summer Camp for 5th – 8th graders has been cancelled,” the clinic stated. “The camp aimed to provide age-appropriate sex education to prevent unwanted pregnancies and emphasize the importance of sexual health for overall well-being. Any extrapolation about the camp’s intentions is incorrect.”

Current Colorado law provides a “right” to abortion and “gender-affirming” procedures, including for minors.

CU did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
