Rainbow Families Great Lakes (RFGL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development, promotion, provision and support of programming for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered) parents, those interested in becoming parents, and the children of LGBT and/or non-traditional families, youth who are themselves LGBT, and their allies.

We're comprised of volunteers and open to all persons that support diversity and rally against discrimination within their local communities. Committed to social justice and economic accessibility, we work from the principle of education and empowerment through family time.

Collaborative Water Park Weekend

Rainbow Families - Great Lakes, Illinois and Wisconsin - are joining together for this great event! We will be taking over the Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells on January 16th-18th!

This is the first time our organizations have joined together for an event! We have secured a limited block of Family Suites at the great rate of only $99/night (regularly $259!). We will have a family night on Saturday for everyone in the conference area.

Please be sure to RSVP and get your rooms reserved to ensure you receive this rate at the Great Wolf. The resort has guaranteed this price for Family Suites through October 15th. Rates may not be as steeply discounted after October 15th.

Should anyone have any questions, please contact Greg Gerrans at greg@rfgl.org
