![]() ![]() I was surprised by the camaraderie of the Campers and the warm welcome that I received from almost everyone. I understand why most everyone comes back year after year and calls it a family. …I can’t thank you enough for this amazing and special place, ‘Camp’ Camp. I was amazed at the skill and talent of the instructors. Here’s what some recent first-year Campers had to say: Our extended sleep-away summer camp experience-unplugging (literally) in a gorgeous, outdoor environment where the support & encouragement to both be yourself and to try something new & challenging are the norm-simply facilitates real, true connections between people of all ages, gender identities, and socioeconomic status, the kind of genuine, personal connections that seem to be sorely lacking in today’s tech-obsessed world. What brings people back to Camp time and again? Well, when we ask our new Campers what surprises them most about Camp, the response we hear more than any other is “the people.” And when we ask our returning Campers why they’ll be coming back, the most popular answer is again “the people.”Īdditionally, unlike other adult summer camps, ‘Camp’ Camp is an entire week long, not just a quick three or four days. Not many other vacation destinations can boast of an annual return rate of over 75%-but ‘Camp’ Camp can. Whether it’s dinner and a Broadway show in Manhattan, Sunday brunch in Los Angeles, or a relaxing afternoon amble through the woods of Massachusetts, Camp offers an opportunity to be part of a fun and friendly LGBTQ community from all over the U.S.-not to mention Canada, the U.K., and beyond-who come together throughout the year to enjoy the company of the friends they made while having the best time ever during one late-summer week in Maine. And when COVID forced us to pivot to virtual, summer camp-inspired offerings, many of our Campers (and the never-been-to-Camp folx who joined us virtually) told us their virtual ‘Camp’ Camp experiences helped them through the isolation of the pandemic. While our week-long gay summer camp is our flagship event, social networking sites such as Facebook have made it easy for the Camp community to stay in touch and gather for other smaller, Camper-planned events throughout the year. Since its inception, Camp has grown into a community of people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or somewhere in between (and, yes, a few even identify as straight) who also enjoy a variety of social, athletic, and cultural activities together throughout the year. But many people find Camp is much more than just another gay vacation: it’s an ongoing community of fun & friendly LGBTQ folx of all ages, backgrounds, gender identities, and interests from across the globe. If you are looking for a fun and unique one-time LGBTQ vacation, ‘Camp’ Camp is, of course, the perfect choice. You may come to Camp not knowing anyone else, but our Campers are some of the most open and welcoming LGBTQ folx on the planet, so you’ll make fast friends in no time. Unplug and relax within a friendly, supportive community of LGBTQ singles and couples-and make new, lifelong friends! Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, the welcoming smiles you’ll find at Camp will make you feel at home in short order.
