Summer Camp is So Gay!

Posted by Emily Farris

As many of you know, we're a little obsessed with summer camp. In fact, we're taking off shortly to run the journalism department at a camp in New Hampshire for six weeks. So it's no surprise that we spend a decent portion of our lonely evenings Googling "camp."

And what did we find on this latest excursion? Camp Camp, a summer camp for LGBT adults.

We're of the belief that every adult should go back to summer camp, at least once. And if you're still afraid that you'll get teased for being a "gaywad" by the camp fire check out Camp Camp.  

While many of the daily activities are reminiscent of the summer camp of yore (save massage), evening activities include "Gay Gaymes" and a pajama party.  So, really, it's like summer camp with gay sex? Though just to be clear, it's not a sex camp:

While we certainly like to think of Camp as being sex-positive – our infirmary has condoms and dental dams available 24/7 – we are definitely NOT sex-focused. …C’mon – it’s a bunch of gay men and women running around together in the woods for a week, so we won’t lie to you and tell you the only activities happening are those found on the Activities Schedule. (There is a 24-hour hot tub, after all…!)

Can we go even if we're not gay? Because that sounds like fun and we'll be 'round those parts this summer, anyway.

Of course you can go!  It's the most welcoming place I've ever been.  And some of the counselors are straight so you won't feel you're the only straighty.
