The lucky winner will get to experience firsthand Camp’s super-fun 27th season at our fabulous new location in central Maine. For over two decades, our Campers have been describing their all-inclusive week at Camp as a rejuvenating, supportive experience that’s “so much more than just a vacation.” And now you might get to experience all of Camp’s amazing activities and fabulous evening social events, as well as be a part of our welcoming & friendly intergenerational queer community – for FREE!

Our Best Time Ever Giveaway has absolutely no strings or secret “gotchas”. Many past Giveaway winners have returned to Camp for at least one more year, and a few have even continued to make Camp an annual destination in the years since their Giveaway win.

To make this year’s Giveaway even more exciting, we’re again offering two additional second prizes: two 50% off prizes allowing you to attend Camp 2025 for just $987.50!

2024 Giveaway Winner Parker Beckom (front row, second from right) of Biddeford, Maine poses with their fellow Yellow Rainbow Group members for the group’s annual photo. Parker’s fellow Rainbow Group members are just some of the over 200 new queer friends they met during their free week at Camp!

win a free week at virtual camp 2021!

August 3, 2021 By Camp Camp 1 Comment

Well, the sad news is that, due to COVID-related issues/concerns, ‘Camp’ Camp will be virtual for the second year in a row in 2021. The good news? We learned last summer that Virtual ‘Camp’ Camp is way better than no ‘Camp’ Camp at all — so we’re giving five lucky LGBTQ humans the chance to join us for Virtual Camp 2021 for FREE!

That’s right: we’re taking a page from past summers when we were able to gather in Maine and giving away some FREE Virtual ‘Camp’ Camp during our 2021 Best Time Ever Giveaway! Five lucky winners will win FREE access to the virtual version of America’s premier summer camp for LGBTQ adults this August 22-29, allowing them to get a little taste of what makes ‘Camp’ Camp the best time ever right from the safety & convenience of their own homes.   

Have you been dying to join us in Maine for ‘Camp’ Camp? Well, obviously, Virtual Camp is not quite the same as experiencing ‘Camp’ Camp in person (there’s nothing like that!) — but everyone who joined us for Virtual Camp in 2020, including some folx who had never been to Camp before, told us their week was the best (virtual) time ever! In fact, we heard from a number of people that Virtual Camp and ‘Camp’ Camp Plus actually made them look forward to joining a Zoom session! (You’ll find some testimonials about Virtual Camp 2020 here.)

This offer comes with absolutely no strings or secret catches. We’ve done previous giveaways for a free week at ‘Camp’ Camp in Maine, and many of our previous Best Time Ever Giveaway winners returned for at least one more year. Once they discovered for themselves that ‘Camp’ Camp really is the best time ever, they just had to come back for more! And our fun week of online, summer camp-inspired programming is a great way to get a taste of what a week at ‘Camp’ Camp in Maine is like, especially because you’ll get to meet some of the folx who make up Camp’s fun & friendly LGBTQ community. 

Here are the Giveaway Rules:

  1. Members of the LGBTQ community age 21 & over who have never been to ‘Camp’ Camp may enter the Giveaway. Those who have attended ‘Camp’ Camp in the past or who have already registered for Virtual ‘Camp’ Camp 2021 are not eligible.
  2. Virtual ‘Camp’ Camp 2021 is August 22-29, with most programming beginning at 12 noon EDT and running through the late evening. (You can find a working version of the week’s programming here.) While we don’t expect winners to take the week off to join us for Virtual Camp (though some of our Campers are), please do not enter the giveaway if you aren’t genuinely interested/available in joining us that week so you don’t potentially take away the opportunity from someone who is.
  3. The Giveaway is good for a Full-Access pass to Virtual Camp 2021, a $125 value. Camp’s virtual programming takes place via Zoom. For best results, we recommend accessing each session via a laptop or desktop computer, though tablets and smartphones will also work. We do have a volunteer tech crew that can assist participants in getting set up on Zoom, etc. if need be. 

To enter, simply complete our easy online Best Time Ever Giveaway Entry Form by midnight E.D.T. on Wednesday, August 11. Then, on Thursday, August 12, we’ll select five (5) entries at random and those lucky humans will get to experience their choice of Virtual Camp’s online activities, social events, game nights (and more!) – and meet a great community of LGBTQ people from across North America. All for free!

What are you waiting for? Enter now!

Good luck!

camp gives back 2019

July 23, 2019 By Camp Camp 3 Comments

It always somehow manages to surprise us when Camp is once more right around the corner, and – surprise! – here we are again with Camp just weeks away. In less than a month, nearly 240 LGBTQ people (and a few amazing allies) from 33 states across the U.S. – as well as Canada, the Czech Republic, the West Indies, New Zealand, and the U.K. – will be having the best time ever in gorgeous southwestern Maine. We still can’t believe that this will be the 23rd consecutive summer that we’ve been privileged to offer such a unique LGBTQ vacation experience, full of fun summer camp activities, fabulous evening social events, and fresh, delicious food – all shared with an amazingly fun & friendly LGBTQ community from around the world.

Fifty-eight of this year’s Campers have been with us for an astounding 10 years or more, including this year’s 15th-Year Campers: Jenn Long of Yonkers, NY; Mary Fran Schnorr of Bronxville, NY; Sandy Wakefield of Ypsilanti, MI; Thom Higgins of Salem, MA; and Tony Julian of Tampa, FL.  We will be donating $100 in each of their names to The Trevor Project in honor of their noteworthy Camp anniversary, a Camp tradition that began in 2011, our 15th summer and we had Campers celebrating their 15th year at ‘Camp’ Camp.

In 2012, we established our annual “Camp Gives Back” campaign which, through a combination of donations from our Campers & Staff and a pledge of 10% of our Camp Store sales, recognizes and supports a different organization serving the LGBTQ community. Past beneficiaries of the campaign include Mainers United for Marriage ($1100 raised in 2012), Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund (now True Colors United; $1435 raised in 2013), SAGE (Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders) ($1888 raised in 2014), Camp Aranu’tiq ($1685 raised in 2015), the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) ($1673 raised in 2016), Immigration Equality ($2090 raised in 2017), and, last year’s beneficiary, the Family Equality Council ($1671).

With America’s political climate continuing to feel increasingly hostile towards LGBTQ people and issues, it’s more vital than ever that we have politicians in office who strive towards achieving equality for everyone in the LGBTQ community. And what better way to do that than increasing the number of openly LGBTQ officials elected to all levels of government? In the hope of doing our small part to help make this happen, we have chosen The LGBTQ Victory Fund as the beneficiary of our 2019 Camp Gives Back campaign. 

Since 1991, the Victory Fund has worked to change the face and voice of America’s politics and achieve equality for LGBTQ Americans by helping to elect thousands of LGBTQ people to positions at all levels of government. These LGBTQ voices have made significant contributions to advancing equality for LGBTQ Americans – from passing non-discrimination laws to defeating amendments to ban marriage equality.

LGBTQ Victory Fund is the only organization in the space supporting down ballot candidates who are LGBTQ running for public office.  Last year was a year of historic firsts – and LGBTQ Victory Fund fueled a rainbow wave increasing the number of out LGBTQ leaders in public office.  With more than 700 LGBTQ people running for office, Victory Fund endorsed 274 (they only endorse viable candidates running) and won 174 times! As a result, America now has more than 700 out elected officials serving in public office across the country. (A full list can be found here.)

And we are proud to say that we have first-hand knowledge of Victory Fund’s great work: one of the candidates who received their support is Mayor of Neptune Township in Monmouth County, NJ & 3rd-Year ‘Camp’ Camper Carol Rizzo!

If you are coming to Camp this summer, you can help support the Victory Fund simply by buying an extra Camp t-shirt or souvenir or two (or three) in the Camp Store. You’ll also be able to make additional donations to the Victory Fund via your Cashless ‘Camp’ Camp account.

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

Thom H. (he/him), Salem, MA
It’s affordable and awesome!
Sam A. (she/her), Chesapeake, VA
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
I fell in love with the whole ‘Camp’ Camp community, my new queer family.
Noam A. (he/him), South Burlington, VT
My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!
Jason S. (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
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
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
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
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 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 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 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
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
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
…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
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’ 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
‘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
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
Camp simply recenters me. Makes me remember what’s important in life.
Doug S. (he/him), Arleta, CA
All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!
Glynn G. (she/her), Lowell, 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
…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
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
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

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
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
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 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 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
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
This place changed my life. I am a better person because of Camp.
Geoff L. (he/him), Los Angeles, CA
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
…one of the most supportive and LGBT-friendly environments I have ever experienced.
Warren H. (he/him), New York, NY
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
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 can’t imagine not returning. I love the people and the freedom to be fully myself.
Erich N. (he/they), Armington, IL
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
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
Everything was my favorite thing!
Buck M. (he/him), San Francisco, CA
The people and the community are always what bring me back.
Amy P. (she/her), Claremont, NH
…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’ Camp is my happy place.

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

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.

My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!
Jason S. (he/him), Brooklyn, NY

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
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
…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
…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
‘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

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

Thom H. (he/him), Salem, MA
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
