It is the most positive experience I participate in and makes my year!

Michael S., Astoria, NY

Totally fabulous. …The spirit of Camp is so joyful and fun and silly and accepting all at once.

Daphne B., Hamden, CT

…one of the most supportive and LGBT-friendly environments I have ever experienced.

Warren H., New York, NY

The openness of everyone’s attitudes and acceptance was intoxicating.

Brandon W., New Orleans, LA

Everything was amazing!!!

Gary E., Ogdensburg, NY

My friends never stop talking about it, and now I know why!

Jason S., Brooklyn, NY

I met some really amazing and very special people that I otherwise would have never crossed paths with. My heart doubled in size in just one week.

Gina Y., Houston, TX

Thanks for continuing to make ‘Camp’ Camp a place for us to relax, unwind and be ourselves!!

Scott T., Chicago, IL

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.

Nicole Y., Ann Arbor, MI

I’ve never had as much fun anywhere as I do at Camp.

Linda R., Manchester, NH

‘Camp’ Camp is a safe, embracing, loving, exciting, entertaining, outgoing, respectful, joyful, honest space. I cannot pass that up.

Christina K., Lawndale, CA

You have built a wonderful community. …I came away very impressed.

Estelle D., Cambridge, MA

I laughed more in one week than I did all year.

Richard H., Montreal, QC

It’s like I’ve been recharged. …It is the one place where I can be my truest self. You can’t put a price on that.

Michael G., Brooklyn, NY

Loved it!

Todd B., Greensboro, NC

The food was outstandingly amazing! …I loved that there were so many vegan options.

IlanaRei G., Malden, MA

This place changed my life. I am a better person because of Camp.

Geoff L., Los Angeles, CA

…Everyone made me feel very welcome, from Staff to Campers.

Adam H., Lafayette, LA

I was most surprised at how welcoming, caring, and lovely each and every Camper and Staff member was. …Thank you for continuing to offer this wonderful environment after all these years.

Sage W., New Orleans, LA

All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!

Glynn G., Lowell, MA

I’ve traveled a lot, and I’ve never found another place as warm and welcoming as ‘Camp’ Camp; not even close!

David P., Endicott, NY

There is no place on earth like ‘Camp’ Camp, and I feel renewed and light-hearted there in ways I don’t feel at home or in any other community.

Debbie D., Holden, ME

I just love Camp. It gives me the opportunity to totally & literally unplug. No cell phone, no computer… total vacation time for me.

Charles L., Colrain, MA

I learned so much and created some beautiful things in my jewelry and pottery classes. We are very fortunate to have such amazing teachers in all of the activities at Camp.

Barry R., New York, NY

Everyone was so friendly when we first arrived. I was hooked! …’Camp’ Camp feels like home.

Lisa M., Wallingford, CT

With all the talk about “community,” I’ve never experienced a feeling of gay community anywhere but at ‘Camp’ Camp. That alone is enough of a draw for me.

Bill S., Norristown, PA

Thank you all for the gift of a wonderful week. I appreciate your patience, care, generosity, understanding, attention to detail, hard work, creativity, openness, effort, and LOVE!

Thom H., Salem, MA

I’ve always felt welcome and included at Camp, perhaps more there than in many other places at home.

Jen V., Cincinnati, OH

It’s affordable and awesome!

Samantha A., Norfolk, VA

I love the grounds; they are so beautiful and serene. It made it easy to do nothing and just enjoy the nature sounds.

Linda B., Cincinnati, OH

I love this place!

Stephanie V., Exeter, NH

The diversity within our community is astounding, and I feel that everyone was welcome…and especially appreciate that the whole age spectrum of our community was included, from the energetic (sometimes scared) kids to our esteemed elders.

Lori M., Merriam, KS

I’m not a terribly social person and large groups can make me uncomfortable. That being said, I never felt safer in a group of people so quickly before.

Shelley D., Nashville, TN

It is the most fun I have all year. And I love the people.

Michelle R., Brighton, MA

Cheers to all who put in such effort to make a safe, wonderful, and fun environment. Flawlessly executed direction and organization. …Extremely well done.

Heather L., Brookline, NH

Camp really is the “Best Time Ever!” Sounds corny, but it’s true.

Wendy H., Raleigh, NC

It’s a week I wait for every year.

Michael L., Tucson, AZ

All the important things, the take-aways, I got from summer camp as a child remain still as an adult. I get a chance to make new friends, try new things, and rekindle my spirit.

Mary Beth K., Columbia, SC

I keep returning for the community and sense of peace, love, and all around decency.

Lyndsey F., Santa Rosa, CA

I love the Camp experience and always feel rejuvenated after attending.

Sherron W., Edison, NJ

The food was fantastic throughout the week, and there’s always lots of fun things to do all day long.

Tony J., Tampa, FL
