LGBTQ+ Family Campout: New England (Waitlist)


LGBTQ+ Family Campout: New England

June 10-12, 2022

Our annual family camping weekend is back! This is open to anyone in our community who identifies as LGBTQ+ and their queer or ally family members. A full weekend of camping, group meals, games, day hikes and activities, and a huge fire pit each night.

Our LGBTQ+ Family Campout is a great way to meet other families like yours, make friends, share stories, and have some good old-fashioned fun!

We define an LGBTQ+ Family as a family where any member of the family (adult or child) identifies as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, pansexual, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, or more. This weekend is for any and all members of your family - kids, parents, grandparents, care-givers.

This will be a weekend of fun, swimming, hiking, endless play, grilling, connecting to other families, sleeping under the stars, s'mores, and so much more!

In addition to tent camping, some indoor sleeping options are available at additional cost to those who prefer to not sleep outside. Indoor space is limited and is first come, first served. There is a place during registration for you to denote interest in tent camping or renting an indoor space. After registration, we will contact you about how to book these accommodations.

Activity Level 1: Beginner-friendly, but plenty of opportunities for hiking around Basecamp and swimming in the river or pond, yard games, fire pits, etc.

Why does this trip cost money?
We do our best to keep our trips affordable, but the reality is there are a lot of costs associated with leading an outdoor trip. This includes, but is not limited to: permits, camping fees, insurance, workers’ comp, gear depreciation, instructor compensation (all of our instructors are queer), food (including accommodations for special diets), and more. Scholarships are available to any participant for whom cost is a barrier.
