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.

Jose V. (he/him)

Harrisburg, PA

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.

B B. (they/them)

Gallatin Gateway, MT

I have never experienced such a sense of community, support, love, candor, and friendship. The queer community and the larger world can be devastatingly brutal at times especially for those of us who already suffer from a lack of confidence or self-worth. I will be forever grateful for finding my kind.

Sean B. (he/him)

Reisterstown, MD

Camp simply recenters me. Makes me remember what’s important in life.

Doug S. (he/him)

Arleta, CA

I really found incredible friendships this year. Almost as soon as Camp started, I found a really solid group of new friends in my cabin that felt like I’d known them forever (in addition to my friends from last year!) We laughed, cried, danced, jammed, explored, shared secrets, and supported each other unconditionally throughout the week. My heart felt so full. I can’t wait to see them again next year!

Amber B. (she/her)

Lexington, KY

Everything was my favorite thing!

Buck M. (he/him)

San Francisco, CA

I fell in love with the whole ‘Camp’ Camp community, my new queer family.

Noam A. (he/him)

South Burlington, VT

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.

Finley W. (they/them)

Yorktown, VA

I was really able to just relax and be social when I wanted to and be in solitude when I needed. No pressure to do anything. All the smiles and hellos and laughing. Something I miss in everyday life.

Rick R. (he/him)

Sacramento, CA

Ever since I set foot at Camp in 2023, I knew this was going to be home for me. The people, the connections, the vulnerability, the joy, the laughter, the tears — it all keeps me coming back. Nothing else in the world compares to this week.

Kat T.R. (they/them)

East Boston, MA

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!

Michael G. (he/him)

Brooklyn, NY

…I truly feel wanted & like I am part of this family. Camp has enveloped me in love and shows me that I am valuable just as I am – no strings attached.

Collette B. (she/her)

Waxhaw, NC

For the first time in my 44 years, I found a place, a people, where I belong. … I march to a different drum. But at ‘Camp’ Camp, EVERYONE does. We are all beautiful, loving misfits, and I was seen, truly seen, for the first time ever. You can go your whole life without ever finding that.

Aletha G. (she/her)

Colonial Beach, VA

Camp has changed the way I feel about myself. It fills my heart with so much love and joy that I can make it through another year in the Heteronormative world. Camp is SO healing.

Clare N. (she/her)

Morro Bay, CA

‘Camp’ Camp is my happy place.

Coco H. (she/her)

Hollis Center, ME

I had a truly life-changing time at Camp last year. The warmth, friendliness, and complete lack of cliqueishness was incredible and addictive.

Zach B. (he/him)

New Orleans, LA

The people and the activities were the best. Everyone was so friendly and open. I just met some amazing people…

Jordan B. (he/him)

Halifax, W. Yorkshire, UK

I LOVE the people, the activities, the sincerity in everyone in their genuine desire to be free and authentic.

Joe S. (he/him)

Enterprise, AL

I can’t imagine not returning. I love the people and the freedom to be fully myself.

Erich N. (he/they)

Armington, IL

I love ‘Camp’ Camp! The people, the beautiful place, the amazing sense of community, the fun activities, it’s all a wonderful mix that creates one of the best vacations I’ve ever had.

Elaine B. (she/her)

Oakland, CA

It truly is an incredible week: a time to connect with old friends, to make new ones, and to take a breath and go with the flow. A choose your own adventure!

Dustin F. (he/him)

San Francisco, CA

The people and the community are always what bring me back.

Amy P. (she/her)

Claremont, NH

…I gained a community of loving, caring, generous people to share the rest of the journey with. The comradery, the laughs, the tears… I could never have predicted or expected to be loved and accepted without condition.

Angela F. (she/her)

Phoenix, AZ

…as an adult man living my truth without the fear of judgment was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.

Jeffrey W. (he/him)

Sparks, NV

I’m close to my biological family but Campers are my chosen family, however odd and quirky. Every year I look forward to my annual family reunion. But what is becoming more important for me is how Camp gives space to all those loving, odd, quirky folks who find their way to Camp and are finally able to be in such a loving, fun-loving, accepting space.

Ann G. (she/her)

Topsham, ME

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.

Olivia R. (she/her)

Lancaster, PA

‘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…

Kat L. (they/them)

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

This is the most incredible creation of community and culture I believe exists on this planet, and that’s not just for queer people. I can’t imagine cultivating this type of non-judgmental, loving and edifying space anywhere else.

Chris D. (he/him)

Arlington, MA

It’s a magical place, made up of the kindest people, the warmest, most supportive culture, offering the funnest activities, in the most beautiful setting, and it is still somehow so much more than that. …if I didn’t return, I would feel like something really special and important in my life was missing.

Anne D. (she/her)

Washington, DC

It’s one of the few places I feel most seen for who I am and valued for it in a way I don’t feel valued for it in the world all the time. It lifts me up for the rest of the year.

Jon M. (he/him)

Brooklyn, NY

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.

Kim S. (she/they)

Fowlerville, MI

I loved having an immediate and deep connection to all Campers, and the sense of family that was ever-present. I’ve never felt so self-confident in my entire life, because the openness of the Campers was so absolute.

Kevin J. (he/him)

Louisville, KY

It is a week where your face hurts when you leave because you laughed and smiled so much. It is a week that invigorates you and makes you want to carry the acceptance, happiness, honesty and caring to those in our outside worlds. …I always leave ‘Camp’ Camp feeling like there is hope that the world can become a better place…

Mary Ellen M. (she/her)

Birdsboro, PA

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!

Rick D. (he/him)

Washington, DC

…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.

Brett P. (he/him)

S. Perth, Australia

Camp has become a yearly necessity, like taxes but far more pleasurable!

Thom H. (he/him)

Salem, MA

This place changed my life. I am a better person because of Camp.

Geoff L. (he/him)

Los Angeles, CA

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.

Charles L. (he/him)

North Easton, MA

I return to Camp because it’s a week I can recharge, cut off, and be in a puddle of love for the week.

Richard H. (he/him)

Sainte-Julienne, QC

Totally fabulous. …The spirit of Camp is so joyful and fun and silly and accepting all at once.

Daphne B. (she/her)

Mashpee, MA

My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!

Jason S. (he/him)

Brooklyn, NY

I’ve been to festivals and conventions, and even camp as a kid, and been overwhelmed by the number of people, and felt lost in the shuffle. That didn’t happen here! Returning Campers and Staff, as well as other first-years, were very friendly. I never felt alone or isolated.

Faris Y. (she/her)

Ann Arbor, MI

…one of the most supportive and LGBT-friendly environments I have ever experienced.

Warren H. (he/him)

New York, NY

‘Camp’ Camp is a safe, embracing, loving, exciting, entertaining, outgoing, respectful, joyful, honest space. I cannot pass that up.

Christina K. (she/her)

Lawndale, CA

I’ve traveled a lot, and I’ve never found another place as warm and welcoming as ‘Camp’ Camp; not even close!

David P. (he/him)

Camillus, NY

It’s affordable and awesome!

Sam A. (she/her)

Chesapeake, VA

All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!

Glynn G. (she/her)
