Overview

• Camp IdRaHaJe, a Christian summer camp in Colorado, has filed a federal lawsuit opposing state rules requiring gender identity-based access to facilities like bathrooms and showers.
• The Colorado Department of Early Childhood adopted these regulations in 2024 and denied the camp’s request for a religious exemption.
• The camp argues the policy forces it to violate its Biblical beliefs about biological sex or risk losing its operating license.
• Alliance Defending Freedom, representing the camp, asserts the state is imposing a 'gender ideology agenda' that infringes on religious freedom.
• A state licensing inspection in June or July 2025 could determine whether the camp remains open as the lawsuit progresses.
