our mission
To provide a welcoming and safe space in a beautiful, natural setting where LGBTQ+ adults may enjoy creative, social, outdoor, group and/or individual activities of their own choosing, and which fosters a sense of community.
10 reasons to come
Still wondering exactly why you should choose ‘Camp’ Camp over another gay vacation? Well, we polled our Campers and asked them what reasons they would give you. The ten most common themes from their responses are:
1. Build life-long friendships with amazing LGBTQ+ people in a gorgeous, natural setting.
2. Enjoy a great value: a ton of activities, delicious food, and fun social events for one all-inclusive price.
3. LYFAO!*
4. Discover the joy of doing something that is completely out of your comfort zone while loads of fun people cheer you on.
5. Escape to a “queer utopia” where you can (literally) unplug from an often stressful modern world and recharge your own batteries for a change.
6. Enjoy a week that’s all yours to do a highly enjoyable everything or a completely relaxing nothing.
7. Hang out with more fabulous LGBTQ folks in one week than you will the whole rest of the year.
8. Discover how easily one week with amazing people evolves into an enduring, intergenerational LGBTQ+ community, no matter where everyone is the other 51 weeks of the year.
9. Leave your grown-up self at home and spend the week laughing and playing like a kid again.
10. Camp is the best time ever! (Seriously. It is.)
*Laugh your freakin’ ass off!
from our campers
This has been an experience of a lifetime. I have no words to describe the amazing experience. All I have is gratitude.
The summer camp experience itself was everything I hoped it would be, and the people were beyond my wildest expectations. I have never felt so free.
Camp simply recenters me. Makes me remember what’s important in life.
Everything was my favorite thing!
I fell in love with the whole ‘Camp’ Camp community, my new queer family.
It really exceeded all expectations!! I can’t really think of much that I would change about my Camp experience, I really liked it all and was impressed by everything.
Seeing younger people shout out old people and older people shout out young people. That intergenerational connection always makes me cry. It’s so rare!
‘Camp’ Camp is my happy place.
I had a truly life-changing time at Camp last year. The warmth, friendliness, and complete lack of cliqueishness was incredible and addictive.
The people and the activities were the best. Everyone was so friendly and open. I just met some amazing people…
I LOVE the people, the activities, the sincerity in everyone in their genuine desire to be free and authentic.
I can’t imagine not returning. I love the people and the freedom to be fully myself.
The people and the community are always what bring me back.
…as an adult man living my truth without the fear of judgment was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.
I didn’t think I’d get such a substantial emotional return on this investment but this space has really helped me learn to love myself more.
‘Camp’ Camp has woken up the joys of living, of experiencing life, of socializing with people, all sorts of innocence lost with age and work…

I cannot imagine not seeing this wonderful family every year. Camp has gotten me through some of the worst and has celebrated some of my best times.
I laughed and smiled more in one week at ‘Camp’ Camp than in the entire rest of the year. It was so inclusive and supportive and filled with utter joy!
…just do it. It is a life changing experience and you will not regret it. I flew 24 hours to get there, so worth every moment.
Camp has become a yearly necessity, like taxes but far more pleasurable!
This place changed my life. I am a better person because of Camp.
Along with the people, Camp gives me a chance to totally & completely unplug. I can relax, something I seldom do for myself. I feel safe at Camp.
I return to Camp because it’s a week I can recharge, cut off, and be in a puddle of love for the week.
Totally fabulous. …The spirit of Camp is so joyful and fun and silly and accepting all at once.
My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!
…one of the most supportive and LGBT-friendly environments I have ever experienced.
‘Camp’ Camp is a safe, embracing, loving, exciting, entertaining, outgoing, respectful, joyful, honest space. I cannot pass that up.
I’ve traveled a lot, and I’ve never found another place as warm and welcoming as ‘Camp’ Camp; not even close!
It’s affordable and awesome!
All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!
