about ‘camp’ camp

Since 1997, ‘Camp’ Camp — America’s premier summer camp for LGBTQ+ adults — has offered a fun and distinctive vacation for the gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender community.

Located in central Maine, ‘Camp’ Camp is structured just like a traditional sleep-away summer camp for kids, offering a week-long program of fun outdoor, athletic, and arts & crafts activities coupled with a variety of entertaining evening social events. We’re the perfect alternative vacation for adventurous members of the LGBTQ+ community looking for a unique vacation option beyond the usual gay cruise or resort. Our Campers say ‘Camp’ Camp is the best time ever — and who are we to disagree?!

an all-inclusive week of fun & new friends

A week at Camp includes all activities, meals and accommodations — plus, all the new friends you can handle! With a wide variety of traditional summer activities such as mountain biking, pottery, hiking, lake swimming, sailing, stained glass, canoeing, and pickleball — along with offerings geared towards our adult gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer Campers such as Broadway and ballroom dance, LGBTQ history, choir, and figure drawing — you’re sure to find something to keep you active and challenged, returning home relaxed and renewed.

Accommodations are basic (but comfortable) in shared barracks-style cabins with single beds with built-in dresser drawers, electricity, and attached bathrooms with private toilet and shower stalls. (A limited number of private and semi-private accommodations are available on  first-come/first-served basis for an additional fee.) While the cabins are indeed camp-like, the food is not: a team of professional chefs make a special effort to make all the food plentiful, healthy, and delicious with plenty of delicious gluten-free and vegan options.

Each year, Camp is typically attended by over 200 queer folx of all gender identities, ranging in age from 21 into their 80s.  While the majority of Campers usually come from the Northeastern U.S., we regularly welcome Campers from as far away as California, Georgia, Washington, Illinois, Michigan, and Arizona, along with international vacationers from British Columbia, Ontario, and the U.K.

Once you come to Camp, you’ll probably want to come back. About 75% of people who come to Camp return for at least one more year, if not two or three or more.  In fact, in 2024, nearly 40% of our Campers & Staff had been with us for five years or more.

Since its inception, Camp has grown into a community of people — people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or somewhere in between (and even a few who identify as straight as well) — who enjoy a variety of social, athletic and cultural activities together throughout the year.  Many people tell us that Camp’s welcoming LGBTQ community is what keeps them coming back and a big part of why their week at ‘Camp’ Camp always feels like more than just a vacation.

join us!

Whether you’re simply looking for a fun and unique one-time all-inclusive vacation or if you looking for an ongoing community of fun and friendly queer folx of all ages, backgrounds, and interests, ‘Camp’ Camp is for you.

Once you’ve decided to come to ‘Camp’ Camp, we make registration simple with our convenient online registration and payment via credit or debit card right here on our website.  We even offer automatic payment plans to make attending Camp easy on your budget.

In addition, we have a fee schedule that fits just about every budget, thanks to our unique Staff Program.  Just over half the people who attend Camp each year do so as part of our Staff and pay reduced fees in exchange for working at Camp.  You can find complete details about our staff program — along with a list of available positions and a convenient online staff application form — by visiting the ‘join our staff’ page of our site.

Spend some time here on our website exploring all that ‘Camp’ Camp has to offer.  If you still have questions or concerns when you’re done, just e-mail us or call 347-453-5257.  One of the Camp Directors is always happy to chat with you.

We hope you’ll join us in August and discover for yourself why ‘Camp’ Camp is where summer is still the best time ever!

This place changed my life. I am a better person because of Camp.
Geoff L. (he/him), Los Angeles, 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

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
Everything was my favorite thing!
Buck M. (he/him), San Francisco, 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
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
‘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
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’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
‘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
I fell in love with the whole ‘Camp’ Camp community, my new queer family.
Noam A. (he/him), South Burlington, VT
…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 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

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

Thom H. (he/him), Salem, MA
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
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
All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!
Glynn G. (she/her), Lowell, MA
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

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
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
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

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
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
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 LOVE the people, the activities, the sincerity in everyone in their genuine desire to be free and authentic.
Joe S. (he/him), Enterprise, AL
Totally fabulous. …The spirit of Camp is so joyful and fun and silly and accepting all at once.
Daphne B. (she/her), Mashpee, MA
I can’t imagine not returning. I love the people and the freedom to be fully myself.
Erich N. (he/they), Armington, IL
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
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
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 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
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
It’s affordable and awesome!
Sam A. (she/her), Chesapeake, VA
…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
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
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 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

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
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
…one of the most supportive and LGBT-friendly environments I have ever experienced.
Warren H. (he/him), New York, NY
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
Camp simply recenters me. Makes me remember what’s important in life.
Doug S. (he/him), Arleta, CA
The people and the community are always what bring me back.
Amy P. (she/her), Claremont, NH
…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
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
My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!
Jason S. (he/him), Brooklyn, NY

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.

buzz

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 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
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
This place changed my life. I am a better person because of Camp.
Geoff L. (he/him), Los Angeles, 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
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 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

‘Camp’ Camp is my happy place.

Coco H. (she/her), Hollis Center, ME
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 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
