Queer Camp
Queer Camp is a weekend of camping, playing, and hiking. With communal meals, skill shares, and camp fires, what more could a queer-o ask for?!?! No more boys versus girls crap, it’s all for one at Queer Camp!
We are dedicated to RE-creating a camp like experience that is inclusive, empowering, and healing. We want to build a diverse community that includes people who identify as LGB, Trans/Genderqueer, People of Color, and People assigned Male at birth.
***You do not have to be queer to come to Queer Camp (just like I didn’t have to be straight to go gender binary summer camp), Queer camp is simply an intentional space to explore gender expression***
The event costs $125-250 sliding scale for 4 days of fun, food, and adventure. The funds go towards event space, food, administration. Proceeds support a queer youth summer camp!! Scholarships are available!

Roles
Counselor: This year Queer Camp will welcome 50-60 participants. In order to maintain safety, community, and intimacy, we are going to highlight our Rainbow Family Groups (aka Cabin Groups). In order to help counselors build trust in a small group, we are going to build a Rainbow Family Group with our counselors and directors before camp! Starting in February, the lead RFG will meet once a month to share ourselves, where we come from, and to explore our gender expressions and experiences. From mid April till camp the crew will meet more frequently to help the Board of Directors plan and prepare for camp on May 24th-27th. Each counselor will have the opportunity to take on one lead position for camp-carpool, bike pool, workshops, meals, group games, talent show, logistics, set up, clean up, etc. Stipend available.
Camper: Want to just show up and behave like an 8 year old, with someone tall and charming telling you what to do? Simply sign up to be a camper and let your summer camp dreams finally come true!
Skill Share Leader: Have a skill you want to share? Previous skill shares/activities: Tie Dye, Non-Violent Communication, Tree Climbing, Hiking, Body Sovernty, Bird Watching, Poetry writing, and Paper Lanterns, White Privilege, and Music. This year you can offer a skill share! Up to $20 available for supplies.
Support Staff. We always need help getting donations and sponsors, scouting future locations, promoting the event, and so many other little details. Sign up to be on our support staff and join team of planners and camp builders!
