Last summer we laid in a hammock at an eco-retreat in Durham and dreamt up a weekend of queers.
We pictured yoga, hiking, camp fires, cold Saugeen River plunges & trees!

It was in that hammock that A Queer Camp was born:
🧘🏻‍♀️yoga
🌲nature
🏕️camping
✨workshops
🔥nightly community campfires & so much more!!


We are bubbling with excitement as we build A Queer Camp of our dreams, AND can't wait to meet all of YOU!

Meet your Camp Founders!

Hostess with the mostest is my goal!

After I burned out from a career in mental health, I made a quick pivot to live in nature. Joining tiny life culture I lived in my trailer. I took a job at The June Motel and realized my LOVE of hosting!

I started Golden Girls Camp with my burnt out, front line colleagues in mind and with my restored energy ready to host! I imagined providing simple camp set ups for anyone who needs a quick simple break into nature!

I dreamt of building the tent ‘fleet’ and hosting queer camps where I could mingle in nature with guests that are seeking connections to community, and the grounding energy that nature provides.

A Queer Camp is that dream turned into reality.

I can't wait to meet you all around the campfire ✌🏻

We call it hurkle durkle when we lay in the hammock LONG after it’s probably time to get up & join our friends on the group river float … which we missed! Our goal is to make it to the one we plan for A Queer Camp weekend, (if we miss it, you’ll know where to find us).

I am a chef & teacher with @elephant_thoughts_outreach, where I've mastered the art of outdoor cooking! After a summer of working outdoors & many hammock shares later Jessie and I knew what the perfect camp looked like to us.

Queer energy, campfires, tunes, chill vibes & A LOT of fun!
Wood saunas, river plunges (remember we missed the float), games, activities that helped us ground & connect.

And because we love our community, we just wanted MORE! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ More time with people that we quickly meet in passing or at busy events. More connection with other queer entrepreneurs during moments of stillness. And ABSOLUTELY more queers around the campfire!

Can’t wait to mingle in nature 🌲
