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 […]

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 […]
camp 2019: a global celebration of community
When we ask our Campers what keeps them coming back to ‘Camp’ Camp year after year, we get the same response that first-time Campers give when we ask what surprised them most about Camp: the people.

the best value ever!
Planning a vacation takes time and research, and vacations can be pricey. We all try to get the biggest bang for our buck when spending our hard-earned money. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I want to get away, not think about everyday life, and not talk about the political climate if I don’t want to. This […]

the brittany james memorial campership
Late last year, we posted about the unexpected and untimely passing of Brittany James, one of our Campers from 2013. Brittany was only able to join us for that one summer, but she loved Camp and her spirit inspired us all as we watched her blossom during her week at ‘Camp’ Camp. Applications are now being accepted for […]
in memoriam
It is with a heavy heart that we note the tragic passing of one of our Campers, Brittany James. Brittany passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 9 at the too-young age of 37.

Many of these adventurers return for multiple years. Most of Campers tell us that it’s the people who attend ‘Camp’ Camp […]
it’s our word, we should keep it
A recent New York Times article – “The Decline and Fall of the ‘H’ Word” – made me realize that I am ambivalent about the linguistic acrobatics we have to employ in today’s civil and politically correct society. I understand that Rush Limbaugh, Scott Lively and their ilk use “homosexual” as a means of demonizing and diminishing us, but it’s still our […]
