camp gives back 2018

August 4, 2018 By Camp Camp Leave a Comment

Can you believe summer is almost over already?! The only good thing about the end of summer is that it means it’s time for ‘Camp’ Camp once again! In just a few weeks, 234 LGBTQ people from 34 states across the U.S. – as well as Australia, Canada, Germany, the U.A.E., and the U.K. – will all be gathering in beautiful southwestern Maine to have the best time ever!  This summer marks our 22nd season of a fabulously unique week of summer camp activities, fun evening social events, and tons of smiles & laughter with new friends.

Fifty-four of this year’s Campers have been with us for an astounding 10 years or more, including this year’s 15th-Year Campers: Amy Ojerholm of Yonkers, NY; Ben Minish-Malinconico of Bayonne, NJ; Dana Muldoon of Cambridge, MA; Jeff Perrotti of Cambridge, MA; John Michel of Arlington, VA; Scott Ettinger of New York, NY; and Steven Bedenbaugh of Metairie, LA.  We will be donating $100 in each of their names to The Trevor Project in honor of their noteworthy Camp anniversary, a tradition we began back in 2011 when we first had Campers celebrating their 15th year at ‘Camp’ Camp.

The following year we established our annual “Camp Gives Back” campaign which recognizes and supports an organization serving the LGBTQ community through a combination of donations from our Campers & Staff and a pledge of 10% of our Camp Store sales. Past beneficiaries of the campaign include Mainers United for Marriage ($1100 raised in 2012), Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund ($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), and, last year’s recipient, Immigration Equality ($2090).

America’s current political climate continues to feel increasingly hostile towards many of us in the LGBTQ community. Most recently, certain factions have turned towards working to prevent us from simply forming families through adoption. In recognition of this sad reality, we have decided to do our small part to support those who wish to do so by choosing one of the nation’s leading LGBTQ family advocacy organizations, the Family Equality Council, as the beneficiary of our 2018 Camp Gives Back campaign.

The Family Equality Council, or FEC, works every day to fulfill their vision of a future where all LGBTQ families, regardless of creation or composition, live in communities that recognize, respect, protect, and value them, a world in which every LGBTQ person has the right and the opportunity to form and sustain a loving family, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or the intersection of these characteristics.  And, importantly, they work to realize systems of service and support that are free from discrimination and that maximize opportunities for LGBTQ youth needing permanency and LGBTQ adults seeking family formation through adoption, foster care, assisted reproductive technology, or other means.

If you are coming to Camp this summer, you can help support the FEC 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 Family Equality Council via your Cashless ‘Camp’ Camp account.

If you aren’t able to join us this summer, we suggest that you pop over to the Family Equality Council’s website and make a donation. (Be sure to note that you were referred by ‘Camp’ Camp.) Please join us in support of our LGBTQ families and donate today.

Our 22nd season of ‘Camp’ Camp is just over a month away! LGBTQ folks from around the globe will soon convene in beautiful pine-scented southwestern Maine to enjoy an LGBT vacation unlike any other.

Many Campers who join us for the first time tell us that the most surprising thing about Camp is the great people they meet and the good friends they make during their week at Camp. So it’s not surprising to hear from our returning Campers that it’s the people they meet at Camp that keep them coming back.  Sounds like the people who attend ‘Camp’ Camp play a huge part in making Camp the best time ever, huh?

If that’s true, then our 22nd season of Camp promises to be another amazingly fabulous week! With Campers hailing from 34 different states, as well as Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Australia, and the U.K., the 214 Campers & Staff confirmed to join us as of July 16th call the following cities home:

the best value ever!

June 15, 2018 By Mary Beth K Leave a Comment

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 is why I continue to choose ‘Camp’ Camp.  Camp’s value isn’t just a monetary one. It’s really in the experience and the camaraderie. And the bonus is that I don’t have to plan a thing: they do it all for me!

We all know there are a wide variety of options out there when it comes to LGBTQ vacations.  One can visit Provincetown, take a gay or lesbian cruise, or visit a resort that caters to gays or lesbians (at ‘Camp’ Camp I value the friendships I have with everyone, no matter how they identify).  I personally know all these things exist. I’ve researched the cost of those I didn’t eventually experience firsthand and realized – sometimes the hard way – that many of them have hidden costs when you factor in everyday expenses. Which is why I continue to find ‘Camp’ Camp is not only the best bang for my buck but also the most rewarding LGBTQ vacation I have ever had by far.  

Some people might experience sticker stock when they see a week at ‘Camp’ Camp costs $1675. But I quickly found the price is more than worth it.  For one thing, it’s all-inclusive.  Once I show up at Camp, I have a place to stay (a rustic cabin with a basic bathroom shared with a bunch of strangers who become instant friends), my meals are provided (vegan and gluten free options available), and every day I have over 30 activities to choose from (or I can choose to do nothing but hang out at the waterfront if I want). When I add in all the intangible parts of the week – the amazing friends I’ve made, all the laughter that happens – the value skyrockets (By the way, you can actually make and launch a rocket at Camp!)

My first year at Camp was back in 2011.  I flew from Cincinnati, Ohio to vacation alone at this LGBT summer camp I found online.  I chose Camp mostly because I was newly single (again), had vacation time to use (since I certainly wasn’t going anywhere with my ex), and I valued my previous summer camp experiences as both a camper and staff person.  So I packed my bags and soon found myself off to Maine, knowing no one.

I land in Portland, Maine (such a tiny airport!) and begin looking for the van I’d been promised would shuttle me to Camp.  I collect my bags and step outside where I find the ‘Camp’ Camp people hanging out in the grass across the way waiting on the next van.  I head towards the crowd of Campers, since I certainly can’t afford to change my mind now. 

Once at the van, I’m instantly welcomed.  People want to know about me and share their stories in return.  We talk the entire way to Camp, and when I arrive I’m greeted again by smiling Camp Staff at the van, someone helps me with my luggage… and the magic began!

Mary Beth with long-time Staff member Ben Minish-Malinconico at Registration for ‘Camp’ Camp 2017.

I’m not a shy person, but, as I was surrounded by nearly 250 strangers, I initially took the role of observer to see where I fit in.  But the second night at Camp was the annual Barn Dance which could not have come at a better time.  I didn’t need a partner, just the willingness to try something new.  Nearly two hours and multiple dance partners later, my face hurt from smiling so much.  That perfectly timed ice breaker at the beginning of the week continues to be my favorite ‘Camp’ Camp activity.  

As the week evolved, I found myself trying new things and making incredible connections.  I enjoyed yoga, stained glass, pottery, delicious vegan meals, campfires, dancing, and more.  In fact, Camp was so unexpectedly welcoming, I found myself able to step out of my comfort zone and join the Broadway Dance class where 25 strangers were transformed into a dance troupe that performed in Friday’s Talent/No Talent Show.  

Seven summers after I first came to Camp, the activities, friendships, and overall experience of ‘Camp’ Camp continue to make Camp the best vacation I’ve ever found – and one I’ll continue to choose year after year.  My suggestion? Look past any hesitations that Camp’s price tag might initially cause, and look at the value of forming unconditional friendships and a chosen family instead.  Or consider joining Camp’s Staff if the full registration fee simply doesn’t fit your budget, because, trust me, you want some ‘Camp’ Camp in your life!

camp gives back 2017

August 7, 2017 By Camp Camp 2 Comments

It’s that time of year again: ‘Camp’ Camp is right around the corner. In less than two weeks, 200 LGBT people from across the U.S. (as well as Canada and the U.K.) will all be converging in southwestern Maine to have the best time ever!  ‘Camp’ Camp 2017 will mark our 21st season, a fabulously unique best-time-ever week full of summer camp activities, fun evening social events, and smiles & laughter with new friends.

Forty-four of this year’s Campers have been with us for an astounding 10 years or more, including this year’s 15th-Year Campers: Owner/Director Betsy Orr of Portland, ME; Deb Kayman of New York, NY; Jackie Goss of Malden, MA; James Berglund of Oakland, CA; and Paul Mitchell of Atlanta, GA.  We will be donating $100 in each of their names to The Trevor Project in honor of their noteworthy Camp anniversary, a tradition we began back in 2011 when we first had Campers celebrating their 15th year at ‘Camp’ Camp.

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

The current political climate here in the U.S. has felt increasingly hostile to the LGBTQ community since last November. However, in nearly 80 countries around the world it is actually a crime to be LGBTQ and our LGBTQ brothers & sisters in these countries face persecution on a daily basis unlike anything those of us here in the U.S. might encounter. In recognition of this sad reality, we have decided to do our small part to support the global LGBT community by choosing Immigration Equality, the nation’s leading LGBTQ immigrant rights organization, as the beneficiary of our 2017 Camp Gives Back campaign.

Immigration Equality works every day to ensure the safety and well-being of our community from countries where just being LGBTQ is a crime, providing advice and legal services to thousands of LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants annually. Fighting to obtain asylum for these LGBTQ and HIV-positive refugees seeking refuge, fair treatment, and freedom here in the United States, they maintain a remarkable 99% win rate for their clients despite an increasing workload each year.

If you are coming to Camp this summer, you can help support Immigration Equality 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 Immigration Equality via your Cashless ‘Camp’ Camp account.

If you aren’t able to join us this summer, we suggest that you pop over to Immigration Equality’s website and make a donation. (Be sure to note that you were referred by ‘Camp’ Camp.) Please join us in support of our LGBTQ brothers & sisters from around the globe and donate today.

We ❤️ our amazing Staff, with special appreciation for our Camp Nurses, who treat all our Campers' boo-boos (tons of fun comes with occasional boo-boos) and spent most of last year running COVID tests all day long.

Since our very first summer back in 1997, 'Camp' Camp has always been a vacation where *you* get to build a week that suits you best, whether it focuses on athletics, nature, creativity — or a mix of everything. If you're more the active/athletic type, you could create a day like this (times six):⁠
⁠
7:00am - Aerobics⁠
8:30am - Breakfast⁠
9:30am - Rainbow Group Meeting⁠
10:15am - Softball Clinic⁠
12:30pm - Lunch⁠
1:45pm - Adventure Course & Climbing Wall⁠
3:30pm - Mountain Biking⁠
5:00pm - Volleyball⁠
6:00pm - Dinner⁠
8:00pm - Barn Dance in the Main Lodge⁠
10:30pm - Night Lake Paddle⁠
⁠

Need a vacation, but on a budget? Not a problem: an amazing week-long all-inclusive vacation at 'Camp' Camp can be yours for as little as $400 through our unique work/play Staff program. Half of the people who join us each summer take advantage of the program, exchanging hours worked during the week for a reduction in their fees. And, as you can tell by Tiffany's face, they still have the best time ever! (Click on this photo through the link in our bio for full details!⁠)⁠

"We truly had an amazing experience. The Campers are wonderful people. The Staff is the best. And you can not beat the location. ‘Camp’ Camp has been one of my most memorable life experiences and vacations. I wish I knew about ‘Camp’ Camp 23 years ago, it would’ve made my coming out experience that much easier." - Jim C., New York, NY⁠
