Have you ever wanted to go to summer camp? Now’s your chance! We talk to Kerry and Kat about ‘Camp’ Camp, a summer camp for LGBTQ+ adults that’s been around since 1997 and offers a fun and distinctive vacation for the queer community. Located in central Maine, you can expect a week-long program of outdoor, athletic, and arts & crafts activities plus a variety of evening social events. Kerry is the owner and director of Camp, while Kat attended as a first time guest last summer and shares their experience.
