'Camp' Camp

Among the adult camps we track in Maine, 'Camp' Camp stakes out the lgbtq+ camps territory. The format is a longer, multi-night immersion, and like every camp in this directory it passes the core test: it is a programmed, sleepover-style camp designed for adults, not a resort weekend wearing a friendship bracelet.

America's longest-running LGBTQ+ adult summer camp, holding its 26th season in 2026 at a new central Maine site. It is unapologetically a real sleepaway camp: communal cabins of 12-18, sailing, pottery, ropes course, stained glass, and evening socials, for queer adults 21+. About three quarters of campers are returners, which tells you everything about the community.

The experience

Practical picture: the format is week-long sleepaway camp. The longer format is the point here. Multiple nights on site is what separates a camp from an event; by day three the group stops feeling like strangers. It is adults-only, which matters more than it sounds. The tone of a camp changes completely when every camper chose to be there for themselves.

Cost

Published pricing: $1,975 USD all-inclusive. That sits above the typical $400 to $1,000 weekend band, usually justified by longer sessions, specialist instruction, or headline talent. Check exactly what the ticket bundles before comparing prices; here, lodging and meals are wrapped in, which makes the sticker price more honest than it first looks.

Where and when

The venue is in central Maine (between Augusta and Bangor), Maine. Here is the current timing picture: 2026: Aug 11-18 and Aug 20-27 sessions.
