Get to Know Us
The Rev. Yadi Martínez-Reyna,(MDiV), is a non-binary, queer, Latin, individual ordained in the United Church of Christ, an artist, and founder of Color Splash Out.
Color Splash Out began in 2022 when Yadi called a few friends with an idea: a queer camp. That first conversation grew into a summer program built to welcome every teen—regardless of class, gender, sexuality, or faith.
Today, Color Splash Out is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating year-round safe and brave spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies, ages 11–23—far beyond camp.
Our Team.
Color Splash Out is a nonprofit organization that operates at a grassroots level. This means that all activities of our organization are led by our main body of members, our Board of Directors and founding volunteers. Everyone comes from all walks of life, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identify and faith or no faith tradition. Our mission is to create safe and brave spaces, and it all starts with our team of volunteers.
Our Color Splash Out Team consists of our camp director, director for music and performing arts, our director of media, and our director of internship programming, our director of education and workshops, as well as behavioral science and registered nurse volunteers who make the affirming spectrum team.
Our Board of Directors
Our 2025 -2026 Fellows!
They also lead CSO’s leadership internship program, The Fellowship of the Unicorns, a mentorship and training pathway for youth who have attended camp at least once and experienced all the elements of camp—offering ongoing support as fellows help dream, plan, and prepare parts of CSO’s yearly summer camp.
