Is Queer Camp still open? Yes.
Queer Camp is active as of 2026. Current schedule per the operator: annual, summer; 2026 registration already closed. Always confirm dates on the official site before booking travel, since adult camps shift venues and weekends more often than kids' camps do.
File Queer Camp under the creator economy's strangest and most wholesome product: the fan sleepaway camp. It is run by Ty Turner, hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers. The format is a longer, multi-night immersion in New Mexico, and the draw is less the archery than the chance to spend real time inside a community that normally only exists in a comment section.
What began as trans YouTuber Ty Turner inviting a dozen fans on a group camping trip has become an annual week of eco-camping on a 156-acre wilderness preserve outside Santa Fe. Campers hike, climb trees, throw spears, and cap nights with karaoke, goth night, and a community drag show. It grew to 40+ campers in 2025 and now sells out before the season starts.

The experience
Practical picture: the format is week-long sleepaway (eco-camping). Plan for a real time commitment. This runs longer than a weekend, which is exactly why alumni describe it as transformative rather than merely fun. Campers are adults only, so expect the particular energy of grown-ups given permission to play without an audience of children.
Cost
Published pricing: not published; site notes affordable/all-inclusive options. The operator does not publish a simple rate card, so treat any number you see on third-party sites as a guess and confirm directly. As a rule of thumb for this category, all-inclusive adult camp weekends in North America cluster between $400 and $1,000 once lodging and meals are counted.
Where and when
The venue is in Santa Fe, New Mexico. On timing, the operator's own line is the one to trust: annual, summer; 2026 registration already closed.
