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!

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.
