For many Campers, it’s their first time on stage and getting to perform in a group makes it even more beginner friendly. Last summer, our Campers learned a Line Dance over a couple sessions during the week and shook their stuff on stage!⁠

Swing yer’ partner round n’ round! One of our long-standing, Camper favorite evening events is our Barn Dance – but don’t worry it’s all fun with the theme and none of the 💩 found in a real barn. Come dressed in your best lesbian plaid, cowboi hats, 🍑 chaps, cutoff shorts, and rhinestone boots. Or take inspiration from Chappell Roan and join the #pinkponyclub – from ‘Little House on the Prairie’ to Dolly Parton, anything goes.⁠

Why stress when you can just show up like the DIVA you know you are? Every detail is planned out for you – activities, evening events, meals – we even provide transportation to and from the airport. All you have to decide is what you want to do (or not – we won’t judge if you just want some R&R) and WHAT you’re going to wear (and guuuurl, we *might* judge that). Stuck on what to bring? Well, a quick trip to our 💅🏻Beauty Barn 💅🏾 for make-up advice and something to borrow and we’ll have you looking FAB.⁠

When is the last time you rode an inflatable bull while your friends tried to 'buck' you off into the refreshing water of a beautiful Maine lake? This is just one of the many activities that we have during the week, and it's a Camper favorite. You can participate or just watch — either way you may find yourself laughing until your sides hurt.⁠
⁠
Whether you come to Camp on your own or with a partner or friend, you will leave with a whole new group of friends that become more like family. Isn't it time you went home from vacation with more than just great memories?⁠

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 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 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 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’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 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

‘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 LOVE the people, the activities, the sincerity in everyone in their genuine desire to be free and authentic.

Joe S. (he/him), Enterprise, AL

There is a specific type of joy I experience at Camp that I do not find anywhere else in the world. It is healing in a way that I cannot even begin to describe.

Michael G. (he/him), Brooklyn, NY

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
