I was most surprised at how welcoming, caring, and lovely each and every Camper and Staff member was. …Thank you for continuing to offer this wonderful environment after all these years.
Sage W., New Orleans, LA
Totally fabulous. …The spirit of Camp is so joyful and fun and silly and accepting all at once.
Daphne B., Hamden, CT
Loved it!
Todd B., Greensboro, NC
Everyone was so friendly when we first arrived. I was hooked!  …’Camp’ Camp feels like home.
Lisa M., Wallingford, CT
All the important things, the take-aways, I got from summer camp as a child remain still as an adult. I get a chance to make new friends, try new things, and rekindle my spirit. 
Mary Beth K., Columbia, SC
You have built a wonderful community. …I came away very impressed.
Estelle D., Cambridge, MA
‘Camp’ Camp is a safe, embracing, loving, exciting, entertaining, outgoing, respectful, joyful, honest space. I cannot pass that up.

Thank you all for the gift of a wonderful week. I appreciate your patience, care, generosity, understanding, attention to detail, hard work, creativity, openness, effort, and LOVE!
Thom H., Salem, MA
My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!
Jason S., Brooklyn, NY
The food was fantastic throughout the week, and there’s always lots of fun things to do all day long.
Tony J., Tampa, FL
The diversity within our community is astounding, and I feel that everyone was welcome…and especially appreciate that the whole age spectrum of our community was included, from the energetic (sometimes scared) kids to our esteemed elders.
Lori M., Merriam, KS
The openness of everyone’s attitudes and acceptance was intoxicating.
Brandon W., New Orleans, LA
I love the grounds; they are so beautiful and serene. It made it easy to do nothing and just enjoy the nature sounds.
Linda B., Cincinnati, OH
I’m not a terribly social person and large groups can make me uncomfortable. That being said, I never felt safer in a group of people so quickly before.
Shelley D., Nashville, TN
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.
Nicole Y., Ann Arbor, MI
The food was outstandingly amazing! …I loved that there were so many vegan options.
IlanaRei G., Malden, MA
It’s a week I wait for every year.

There is no place on earth like ‘Camp’ Camp, and I feel renewed and light-hearted there in ways I don’t feel at home or in any other community.
Debbie D., Holden, ME
Camp really is the “Best Time Ever!” Sounds corny, but it’s true.
Wendy H., Raleigh, NC
I learned so much and created some beautiful things in my jewelry and pottery classes. We are very fortunate to have such amazing teachers in all of the activities at Camp.
Barry R., New York, NY
I laughed more in one week than I did all year.

Adam H., Lafayette, LA
I’ve always felt welcome and included at Camp, perhaps more there than in many other places at home.

It’s like I’ve been recharged. …It is the one place where I can be my truest self. You can’t put a price on that.

All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!
Glynn G., Lowell, MA
It is the most fun I have all year. And I love the people.

With all the talk about “community,” I’ve never experienced a feeling of gay community anywhere but at ‘Camp’ Camp. That alone is enough of a draw for me.

I keep returning for the community and sense of peace, love, and all around decency.
