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

Sherron W., Edison, NJ

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

Michael S., Astoria, NY

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

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

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

Daphne B., Hamden, CT

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

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

Lyndsey F., Santa Rosa, CA

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

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

Loved it!

Todd B., Greensboro, NC

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

Lisa M., Wallingford, CT

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

Scott T., Chicago, IL

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

Adam H., Lafayette, LA

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

Richard H., Montreal, QC

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

Everything was amazing!!!

Gary E., Ogdensburg, NY

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

Jen V., Cincinnati, OH

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

Estelle D., Cambridge, MA

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

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

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

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

I love this place!

Stephanie V., Exeter, NH

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

Geoff L., Los Angeles, CA

It’s affordable and awesome!

Samantha A., Norfolk, VA

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

Christina K., Lawndale, CA

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

Linda R., Manchester, NH

All the evening activities were outstanding. So much fun!

Glynn G., Lowell, MA

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

IlanaRei G., Malden, MA

…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

It’s a week I wait for every year.

Michael L., Tucson, AZ

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

Jason S., Brooklyn, NY

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

Michelle R., Brighton, MA

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’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

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

Tony J., Tampa, FL

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

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

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

Wendy H., Raleigh, NC
