‘Camp’ Camp is a great place to share your skills, talents, and knowledge with a community of fun & adventurous LGBTQ folks from all over the country.  Our staff program is our version of a “sliding scale,” allowing those on a limited budget to still be able to attend and enjoy Camp.  Many of our Staff return year after year, as they discover that working at Camp often feels like play and makes their week a fun and highly rewarding experience. 

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required for all 2022 Campers & Staff.

work a few & save a lot

Staff members at ‘Camp’ Camp are paid via a “work/play” compensation system.  Just over half of the people who attend Camp each summer do so as part of our Staff, taking advantage of the reduced fee schedule in exchange for working during the week.  The fact that over 75% of our Staff return year after year is probably an excellent indication that you can work at Camp and still have the best time ever!

Staff positions are available in both the Program and Operations areas of Camp.  The Program Staff consists primarily of our Activities Instructors, so those applicants must possess the specific skills and experience required to lead specific activities.  If you don’t have the requisite skills to lead an activity, all you need to be a part of our Operations Staff is a positive attitude, a good work ethic, and the ability to work well as part of a team.  Program Staff are scheduled during specified activity periods each day. (A typical day at Camp is broken into four activity periods, running either 90 minutes or 2 hours in length.)  Most Operations Staff are scheduled to work specific hours throughout the week as necessitated by their particular position.

Each Staff member—from Activity Instructor to Dishwasher— is vital in creating a positive Camp experience for everyone at ‘Camp’ Camp, so we look for team players who can commit to making their individual position their priority the week of Camp, while simultaneously modeling Camp’s culture of community, inclusion, and encouragement. For full details on what we expect of our staff, click here.

staff levels & fee schedule

Staff I (Staff member pays $1325*): Operations or Program Staff who work approximately 12 hours during the week and Activity Instructors who lead one (1) activity period per day.

Staff IV (Staff member pays $350*): Operations or Program Staff who work approximately 36 hours during the week, Activity Instructors who lead three to four (3-4) activity periods per day, or any Staff member who works a combination of two (2) Staff II positions.  Staff members in this category are generally given at least 2-3 activity periods off during the week to allow them to enjoy Camp activities.

Monthly payment plans are available for all levels of Staff fees. The earlier you apply and are accepted, the lower your monthly payments. (A $25 Payment Plan Administrative Fee applies to all payment plans.)

*All fees include a 9% Maine Use & Lodging tax.

currently available positions

In addition to the positions listed below, we are often looking to add new activities to our Activities Schedule. If you are an enthusiastic, people-person with a unique, fun Arts & Crafts project, specialized skill, or outdoor activity that you would like to share with a group of fun-loving, adventurous LGBTQ adults, send an e-mail to registration@campcamp.com with your proposal.

You may also e-mail us at that e-mail address if you’d like more details on any of the positions listed below. We are also able to combine Staff positions to create a fee level that is in line with your budget (i.e., two Staff II positions can be combined to make an overall Staff IV level position with fees of only $350).

Aerobics Instructor  We need an enthusiastic, experienced aerobics instructor capable of teaching fun, all-levels aerobics classes.  Being a morning person helps, as we like to offer a 7:00am class each morning to help get our Campers awake and moving. Instructors with experience in specialty classes (hip hop, Zumba, step, cardio-boxing, etc.) are especially encouraged to apply. As long as it’s fun, energetic and adaptable for all skill levels, we’re open to suggestions! (Staff I or Staff II)

Art Instructor  We are in need of an individual to help our Campers tap into their inner Picassos by developing a series of fun, creative art classes across a variety of topics and mediums. Whether it’s painting & drawing (watercolor, charcoal, oils—the medium is pretty much up to you), collage, sculpture, or another intriguing creative pursuit, we are open to any number of ideas. (For a sample of past offerings, click here.) Prior teaching experience preferred, though not required; however, you must be comfortable working with all skill levels and enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, and excited about your art. (Staff II or Staff IV)

Beverage Team  We need team players able to assist our Beverage Manager in all aspects of our beverage service, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Duties include assisting with maintaining inventory of soda, beer & wine; bar set-up/breakdown and service at evening social events as well as our late-night Best Time Wine Bar; stocking dining hall soda bar for meal times; and assisting in maintaining the beverage station in the Main Lodge throughout the day so our Campers can stay hydrated. Some heavy lifting (5-10 gallon thermoses, beer kegs, etc.) is required. (Staff II; Staff I, as a supplement to/in combination with another Staff position)

Broadway Dance Instructor  Our Broadway Dance class is one of our most popular classes—attracting everyone from experienced dancers to folx who are convinced they have two left feet—allowing Campers to live out their Broadway-star fantasies in such numbers as “We Go Together” from Grease, “Sex is in the Heel” from Kinky Boots, and “Rich Man’s Frug” from Sweet Charity. To make all this happen, we’re in need of an experienced choreographer who can choreograph a Broadway-style number suitable for all skill levels. You’ll teach the number, which is traditionally performed at our Talent/No Talent Show on Friday night, during three 90-minute class sessions during the week. (Staff II)

Chef/Head Cook  Experienced chefs/cooks are needed to assist our Executive Chef with preparing three meals a day for hungry Campers. Professional culinary training/experience preferred, but must have experience in high-volume food preparation. (Staff VI)

Cooking Instructor  We are seeking a professionally trained chef or even an experienced, expert “home chef” who is interested in sharing their culinary skills & knowledge with our Campers. Past class offerings have included Vegetarian Cooking,  The Humble Tomato, Healthy Alternatives, Cake Decorating, Middle-Eastern Cuisine, From Bubbe’s Kitchen (Eastern European Jewish Cooking), as well as dessert and cheese- and pasta-making classes. Prior teaching experience not required, but you should be comfortable working with all skill levels and enthusiastic about food. (Staff I or Staff II)

Dining Hall Manager  Our Campers work up an appetite, so we need someone to work in tandem with our returning Dining Hall Manager to oversee food service and general Dining Hall operations so that our Dining Hall runs smoothly and our hungry Campers eat on time. Dinner service will be your main responsibility, but you’ll also share lunch service responsibilities with our morning Dining Hall Manager who manages breakfast service. Duties include working with our Executive Chef and Beverage Manager to ensure on-time meal service; overseeing, scheduling, and training Dining Hall staff; and coordinating the set-up and breakdown of the dining hall after each meal service. Prior food service/server experience required; food service management experience preferred. (Staff V)

Dining Hall Team  We need enthusiastic team players to assist our Dining Hall Managers in making sure that three daily feedings of 200+ hungry Campers happen smoothly. Duties include making sure the dining hall is clean before and after each meal; setting up salad bars and replenishing serving lines with dishware, utensils, etc. as needed; and bussing tables with a smile. (Staff II or Staff IV)

Dishwasher  It’s not glamorous, but it’s important.  We try to be as green as we can be – and dishwashers are a big part of that effort! All applicants must be able to stand for extended periods on wet floors while twisting, bending, and lifting items weighing up to 30 lbs. (Staff IV or Staff VI for those who also have kitchen/prep cook experience.)

Driver  Be the all important first-impression of ‘Camp’ Camp!  You’ll pick-up Campers at the Portland airport, bus & train stations, greet them with a smile, and help them with their luggage.  Drivers also run errands and drive Campers to off-site activities throughout the week as needed, then return Campers to airports on the last day of Camp.  Current/valid Driver’s License and excellent driving record required; must be good with directions and comfortable driving a 14-passenger van on the curvy back roads of rural Maine and in Portland city traffic.  (Staff I, as a supplement to/in combination with another Staff position)

Kitchen Staff  Experienced prep/kitchen workers who can assist our chef in food prep and assist the Dining Hall Staff with maintaining/stocking our buffet lines are always a good thing!  (Staff IV, Staff V, or Staff VI)

LGBTQ History Instructor Our Campers have shown great interest in learning more about LGBTQ history the past few years, so we’re seeking an instructor who can put together an intriguing series of interactive classes—from general queer history overviews to more in-depth/specialized sessions—where Campers can explore and discuss important LGBTQ figures, activists, and events. An experienced Queer Studies or History teacher is ideal, but we are also open to proposals from anyone who has a solid knowledge of and passion for specific topics from within our collective LGBTQ history. (Staff I or Staff II)

Maintenance & Logistics Staff  Our M&L staff assists our Operations Manager with the set-up and break-down of Evening Social Events and other events throughout the week. The M&L staff is also responsible for cleaning the camp grounds & facilities before Camp starts and after it ends, as well as other light maintenance & housekeeping tasks throughout the week. Must be able to handle heavy lifting. (Staff II; Staff III or Staff I, as a supplement to/in combination with another Staff position, available for those with availability through Monday, August 29)

Massage Therapist/Instructor  Share your gift of touch and the healing power of the hands. We are looking for experienced male and female massage therapists to provide massage services to Campers during the week.  You should be comfortable working on both men and women of all ages and body-types.  Opportunities also exist to teach classes on the basics of massage if interested.  Must be willing/able to obtain licensing for the State of Maine.  (Compensation is paid per massage, please e-mail us for details.)

Mountain Biking Instructor  We are seeking an experienced mountain biker who can lead small groups of Campers out to explore some of rural Maine’s country roads and the trails in the woods surrounding camp.  Knowledge of basic bike maintenance and repair a must.  Prior teaching experience is not required; however, you must be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, and excited about your sport and comfortable/patient working with mostly inexperienced riders.  (Staff II)

Team Sports Instructor  We are seeking an enthusiastic team sports generalist who can lead the occasional clinic and/or organize games in Flag Football, Softball, Basketball, Kickball, Capture the Flag Wig, etc. You must be able to make all skill levels feel welcomed and excited to play. Prior teaching/coaching experience is not required, but you must be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, and excited about the joys of team sports. (Staff II)

Tennis Instructor  Our facility has five fabulous clay tennis courts, and we need an experienced tennis instructor to put them to good use giving lessons and maybe even organizing an end-of-the-week tournament. Our Campers always come with all skill levels, so you must be comfortable teaching the very basics, as well as helping the more seasoned player improve his game. (Staff IV)

Tie-Dye Instructor  It wouldn’t be summer camp without tie dye, now wouldn’t it? So, if you have experience in basic tie-dyeing skills, we’d love for you to help our Campers create groovy souvenirs of their week at Camp. If you are versed in more advanced tie dye techniques, all the better! While prior teaching experience is not required, you must be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, and excited about your art and be comfortable working with all skill levels. (Staff II)

Waterfront Staff   Our waterfront is one of the most beautiful, relaxing, and popular places at Camp, and we are always in need of Red Cross-certified lifeguards or WSIs to keep our lakefront safe for swimmers and to teach swimming, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, and kayaking. Current lifeguard and CPR/First Aid certifications are required. We are especially interested in finding a certified lifeguard who can also be our lead canoeing/kayaking instructor. (Staff II or Staff IV)

Writing Instructor  We are need of an experienced writing instructor to lead daily writing sessions to help teach our Campers to get thoughts and words onto paper in a positive, reaffirming setting. Prior teaching experience preferred, but is not required; however, you must be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, and excited about your craft and comfortable working with all skill levels. Published authors or creative writing instructor preferred; must provide writing samples. (Staff I or Staff II)

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF 'CAMP' CAMP! #happy25campcamp⁠
The activity at 'Camp' Camp we don't have many pictures of is one of the most important for any vacation: relaxation! With so many activities to do each day, we often have to remind people to take some quiet time for themselves throughout the week. In fact, "Free Time/R&R" is even listed on our schedule of activities. Since 1997, despite whatever else our Campers may say 'Camp' Camp is to them or has become, it is still first & foremost a vacation. Just perhaps the best one ever!⁠
⁠

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED IN 2017?⁠ #lgbtqhistory⁠
- On March 2,  New York City requires school staff to use transgender students' chosen pronouns.⁠
- The gay coming-of-age film MOONLIGHT wins the Oscar for Best Picture making it the first LGBTQ film and the first film with an all-black cast to do so. Out of the film's 8 nominations, Mahershala Ali also wins Best Supporting Actor and writer/director Barry Jenkins and playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney win Best Adapted Screenplay for adapting McRaney's play, IN MOONLIGHT BLACK BOYS LOOK BLUE.⁠
- Same-sex marriage officially becomes legal in Australia.⁠

'Camp' Camp was created in large part to offer a place for LGBTQ adults of all ages to have a place to make meaningful connections with new people from across the country, in an atmosphere where the focus is not on sex or alcohol like in bars (especially the bars back in the late 90s!) And you know what? We've pretty much succeeded at that since day one! #tbt #throwbackthursday⁠
⁠
📸  New Camp Friends, August 2000 (Year 4)⁠

⁠
WHAT ELSE HAPPENED IN 2000?⁠ #lgbtqhistory⁠
- Vermont becomes the first state in the country to legally recognize civil unions between gay or lesbian couples. The law states that these “couples would be entitled to the same benefits, privileges, and responsibilities as spouses.” It stops short of referring to same-sex unions as marriage, which the state defines as heterosexual.⁠
- Out rock musician Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice win the 2000 Tony Award for Best Original Score for their musical AIDA.⁠
- WILL & GRACE, a sitcom about the relationship between a gay man & his straight female best friend, wins the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. Sean Hayes & Megan Mullaly also win for Outstanding Supporting Actor & Actress for their roles of Jack McFarland and Karen Walker.⁠

When was the last time a vacation helped you play like a kid again? We try to keep the spirit & culture of a real kids' summer camp in mind when planning 'Camp' Camp. And though 'Camp' Camp has developed a spirit & culture all its own over the past 25 years that's definitely adult-oriented, we enjoy watching many of our Campers re-learned to play and interact with more abandon as the week progresses. We sneak in all sorts of subtle ways to get *all* of us to at least try to recapture being a kid again for at least a little bit.⁠

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED IN 2008?⁠ #lgbtqhistory⁠
- Same-sex marriage begins in California in June; however, on November 4, California voters ban same-sex marriage with Proposition 8, becoming the first U.S. state to do so after marriages had been legalized for same-sex couples. Later that month, the Supreme Court of California agrees to hear arguments for a possible overturn of Proposition 8.⁠
- AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY by Tracy Letts wins the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.⁠

When 'Camp' Camp started over two decades ago, the country was a different place for queer folx. Ellen had just come out (and subsequently found her career temporarily in the toilet), and same-sex marriage didn't even seem possible. So in those early years our evening events seemed to frequently include things we LGBTQ folx never got to experience as kids or teenagers. Like ⁠
Spin the Bottle which quickly became a spectator sport, especially when the lesbians played. (To be fair, the gays did get their opportunity as well. But if our memory serves, the lesbians won this one!)⁠
⁠
We spot at least four people in this photo who are still active in the 'Camp' Camp community, 20+ years later!(Though one does have a lesbian suctioned on to her face in this pic.) Can you spot them?⁠

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED IN 1999?⁠ #lgbtqhistory⁠
- On October 2, California governor Gray Davis signs three gay rights bills into law. The first outlaws harassment of homosexual students and teachers in the state's public schools. The second creates a new statewide domestic partnership registry. The third outlaws job and housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.⁠
- Rev. Jerry Falwell "outs" Teletubby Tinky Winky and calls him a gay role model. Falwell deduced that because Tinky Winky is purple, carries a purse, and has a triangle on his head means that he's gay.⁠
- SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE wins the Oscar for Best Picture.⁠

To this day, our annual Tea Dance remains perhaps our Campers' favorite event of the week. Since 1997, Tea Dance has always taken place on Thursday afternoon and is traditionally held outdoors, though the exact location changed after the third or fourth year when our numbers got too large to keep it at its original venue. Even the years when rain forced the event indoors, it never dampened Campers' enthusiasm for Camp's most-iconic event — as you can tell by this pic! ⁠

Our Adventure Course (also known as the Ropes Course) sits pretty much at the center of the camp grounds — and feels pretty much like it's still the center of the 'Camp' Camp experience. In the early years of Camp, nearly everyone completed at least the "low ropes" part of the course with their Rainbow Group. Our numbers are now too large to accomplish that, but we still strongly encourage all Campers to at least try the course. It somehow still represents the "step out of your comfort zone" culture of 'Camp' Camp for many of our Campers, especially those who have been around for awhile!⁠

- Openly queer actress Cynthia Nixon (best known for playing Miranda on HBO's SEX & THE CITY) wins the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play for her performance in David Lindsay-Abaire's play RABBIT HOLE. The play will go on to win the 2007 Pultizer Prize for Drama.⁠
- Soulforce, an organization committed to confronting religious-based hate, launches its first Equality Ride bus tour, visiting 33 colleges and universities that ban enrollment of openly LGBTQ students.⁠

Since our first year in 1997, the first day or two of Camp have been structured to make sure all our Campers can easily make friends and quickly feel at home. Team building activities & icebreakers are sometimes met with some 🙄🙄, but, when nearly 75% of our Campers in any given year have been with us before, we're guessing people *do* end up feeling at home at 'Camp' Camp! ... What other LGBTQ vacation can boast that kind of annual return rate?!⁠

- On September 6, the California Legislature passes a bill  to legalize same-sex marriage, becoming the first state legislature in the U.S. to do so without judicial prompting. However, on September 29, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoes the bill.⁠
- Bobby Canavale wins the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series for his role as Vince, Will's boyfriend, on WILL & GRACE. Three of the other four nominees in the category were also nominated for their roles on WILL & GRACE: Alec Baldwin, Victor Garber, and Jeff Goldblum. (Fred Williard of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND the lone non-W&G nominee.)⁠
- In late August, Hurricane Katrina wreaks catastrophic damage on the Gulf coast; more than 1,000 die and millions are left homeless. Americans are shaken not simply by the magnitude of the disaster but by how ill-prepared all levels of government are in its aftermath.⁠

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF 'CAMP' CAMP! #happy25campcamp⁠
Many things have changed about 'Camp' Camp since 1997, but one thing that hasn't is that we've always offered a combination of outdoor, athletic, and creative activities to appeal to and challenge all sorts of LGBTQ folx. And we've always encouraged Campers to step out of their comfort zone and try something new, not just those activities that they are comfortable or familiar with. For some Campers, stepping out of their comfort zone means throwing a ball in Softball, for others it's throwing some clay in Pottery class or throwing it down onstage in our Lip-Sync Throwdown! We've had any number of Campers return home and take up hobbies or sports based on activities they discovered at Camp.⁠
⁠
We've found that the more people try something new and out of their comfort zone while at 'Camp' Camp, the more likely they are to find their week a memorable vacation. ...Perhaps they might even say their 'Camp' Camp vacation is the best time ever!⁠

Like many traditional kids' summer camps, we've always taken a group photo of our Campers each year for posterity's sake. But as Camp has grown from 88 Campers back in 1997 to nearly 250 in recent years, we've had to occasionally move the location of the group photo shoots over the years. What started with a photographer at a window at the top of a staircase in 1997 has evolved through various locations, wherever we can get a photographer (safely!) up high enough to get all our Campers in the photo.⁠

Look through our Instagram feed, and you'll notice that  our most fun photos come from our annual Tea Dance, a permanent Thursday afternoon fixture on our schedule since our first very year in 1997. But all those fun & fabulous costumes you see — and the "red carpet" walk that is so popular in recent years — haven't always been part of Tea Dance. That tradition evolved over the course of a number of years, but started with this guy in the middle as you see him right here. Bob de Luna of New York City just randomly showed up at Tea Dance the second year of Camp wearing seemingly nothing but shaving cream. Over the next 5 or so years, he showed up in more elaborate costumes, usually making grand entrances, until more & more Campers decided to join in the fun. And 'Camp' Camp's legendary costume-filled Tea Dance became what it still is today!  #fbf #flashbackfriday⁠

While it's traditionally been mostly single folx (or people traveling without partners/spouses) who come to Camp, couples have always been a part of 'Camp' Camp and find it's a perfect vacation to spend both time together and time alone, or whichever combination works for them. And yes, we've had some couples who have met at Camp — and even a few couples who got engaged at Camp!⁠

Another popular Camp tradition that has survived since our very first year in 1997 is our Rainbow Groups, groups of 12-15 Campers & Staff—little cross sections of each summer's attendees—who meet each morning to receive Orientation information and to participate in fun ice breakers and daily check-ins, etc. They're a great way for Campers to meet & connect with people quickly without the pressure of a large group setting. (Like everything at Camp, attendance is optional, but many of our Campers find them to be a highlight of their week.)⁠
⁠
In 1997, we had 8 Rainbow Groups of about 8 people each; however, over the past decade or more, we've needed as many as 20 Rainbow Groups of 12-15 people to accommodate all our Campers!⁠

Perry, effectively invalidating California's Proposition 8 referendum and restoring same-sex marriage in that state.⁠
- Michael Douglas wins the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his performance as gay entertainer Liberace in HBO's BEHIND THE CANDELABRA.⁠

The summer camp we lease for 'Camp' Camp is situated between several gorgeous natural ponds and has a swimming area with a sand beach, so our waterfront has always been a popular place. It's been even more popular in the past 10 years or so, as more and more of our Campers make us an annual destination. Even with over 30 activities to do each day, many of our returning Campers are content to spend many of their afternoons simply relaxing with all their Camp friends down at our gorgeous waterfront. ⁠

Did you know that, for the past decade or more, over 75% of the people at Camp in any given year have been with us previously? Which is why, even when you see these pics from Camp's early days, you still may recognize more than just a few faces if you decide to join us for Virtual Camp this summer or join us in Maine in 2022. Like these two beauties: Eden Stone (left) of West Roxbury, MA and Susan "Clink" Clinkenbeard (right) of Newton, MA. Eden has been coming to Camp since 1997, and Clink has been with us for most years since 2002, serving as Associate Director/Owner from 2006-2008. In fact, many of our Campers tell us it's the people they meet at 'Camp' Camp that keep them coming back.  #fbf #flashbackfriday ⁠

- Janet Jackson's breast, adorned with a nipple shield, is exposed by Justin Timberlake for about half a second, in what was later referred to as a "wardrobe malfunction," during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII. ...

It feels like rain has always been a rare occurrence in the 23 summers we've been lucky enough to be in Maine for Camp. (COVID-related cancellations this and last summer have made our appreciation for Maine even greater.) But the rain never seems to dampen the smiles on our Campers' faces! They're as much a part of 'Camp' Camp as the activities, traditions, and great social events that make up each annual week in Maine. In fact, some Campers have stated they've realized after they've gotten back home after Camp that their faces are sore from all the smiles & laughter... 😁🤣😁😁⁠

-  The Pentagon announces in July that it will allow transgender personnel to serve openly in the US military, starting in 2016.⁠
- Transgender actress Holly Woodlawn dies on December 6 at age 69 due to complications from cancer. Holly had achieved underground stardom with her affecting performance as a starry-eyed down-and-outer in the 1970 film TRASH and was the inspiration for Lou Reed's 1972 song "Walk on the Wild Side."⁠

Yes, of course, we'd love to be cavorting with Camp friends old & new under the late-summer sun in Maine next month, but—due to COVID-related issues—we'll be virtual again this August 22-29. But, if last summer's week of Virtual Camp taught us anything, a week of virtual 'Camp' Camp is better than no 'Camp' Camp at all!⁠
⁠
We're looking forward to seeing Campers (old & new) online in a month or so, and we think you should join us! For just $125 for the week, you'll get a great teaser of what a week at America's premier summer camp for LGBTQ adults is like—and meet fun & friendly new LGBTQ friends from across the U.S. ⁠in the process.⁠
⁠
Then, you can be like us and look forward to August 2022 when we'll be back in Maine for another best-time-ever week at 'Camp' Camp!⁠

This photo pretty much sums up how I've felt (on my best days) over the past 16 months. I don't usually post from a personal perspective here on the Camp IG, so this is an exception. 

Our IG has been dormant for most of the past year+. And that's on me. My pandemic-addled brain just couldn't fathom a way to promote/celebrate Camp when a damn virus was robbing us of such an amazing, soul-enriching week.

And while I'm confident that going virtual again in 2021 was the right decision—especially in light of this damn Delta variant—it's still utterly disappointing & demoralizing to miss another summer, especially since this year is technically our 25th anniversary. Plans to celebrate our 25th have been bouncing around my brain for years, but I've struggled since COVID to find a way to even acknowledge it with what feels like an appropriate fervor when we can't celebrate it *in* Maine, which is such an integral part of the week. 

Anyway... this is just my typically longwinded way of saying that I'm gonna try to fire up this damn Instagram account again, likely with some focus on the fact that our scrappy little LGBTQ event has lasted a quarter of a century.

So, stay tuned for this page's return to (at least some) life, most likely focusing on vintage/throwback Camp photos. I encourage veteran Campers to comment with whatever memories the photos inspire and to forward their own pics/memories for consideration as part of this IG.

And while I do still struggle with the reality of a second Maine-less summer, that doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to Virtual Camp. Last summer made it clear that the spirit & culture of Camp transcends gathering  online and that Virtual Camp really *is* the next best thing to a best-time-ever week in Maine. So, of course, I'm absolutely looking forward to seeing everyone in August. Just click on the link in our bio to register. 😎

This was Camper Mark Cameron (some of y'all probably know him as "Princess") all smiley & happy on the very first night of 'Camp' Camp 2019. Well, Princess is probably all smiles right now, too, as he knows he'll have tons of opportunities to experience a little 'Camp' Camp fun & community from the safety of his own home between now and May. That's right: Princess is all registered to join us for 'Camp' Camp Plus, our new virtual day camp for LGBTQ adults!⁠
.⁠
Running through May, Camp+ offers as many as a half-dozen options per week for LGBTQ adults of all ages to gather via Zoom for classes/activities, socializing, and Evening Social Events, all inspired by ‘Camp’ Camp’s traditional summer camp programming. From arts & crafts, writing, and LGBTQ history to Humpday Hangouts on Wednesdays and monthly evening social events, Camp+ offers a variety of options to learn something new and meet new LGBTQ friends from around the country – all from the safety of your own home.⁠

Yes, we know we've been off #instagram for awhile. And now, when we do return, it's with sad news: 'Camp' Camp will not be taking place this August 23-30 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But STAY TUNED: we're developing a week of virtual summer camp-themed programming for those dates that provides the same great opportunity for connecting with a fun & welcoming LGBTQ community as the live version of Camp. Join us and get a taste of why over 75% of our Campers return to 'Camp' Camp year after year. Don't miss it: it's sure to be the best (virtual) time ever! ... 📸 Tea Dance, #campcamp2016⁠

Our Campers tell us it's the amazingly fun & friendly people they meet at Camp that keep them coming back again & again. Here's one of those 'Camp' Camp people: Pottery Instructor Collette Bailey of Waxhaw, NC ('18-'20). Collette first came to us three summers ago and quickly become our resident Mama Bear, leaving the hubby and kids at home each August since to frolic with all the queers in the woods of Maine, showing us how to turn lumps of clay into fabulous little works of art. We're so glad she found us, and thrilled she'll be back for her 4th summer this August! ... 📸 Opening Circle, #campcamp2019⁠
