“Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, yes, and yes 100 times over!
This program was so impactful, and I feel like I am leaving with an improved sense of self and love.”

“You will be dirty.
But you will be happy and feel safe and seen and welcome and nourished.”
EMMETT
TRANSMASC CAMPER

“All trans/enby identities—even those that are shifting and in progress—are welcome!
If you read the info and feel like you should be there, you probably should. The community holds everyone.”

THE DETAILS
When: Our two camps this year are July 7-10, 2023 and Oct 6-9, 2023. Opening circle at noon on Friday, closing circle at noon on Monday.
Where: Deep in the forests of Worcester, Vermont.
What: Four days of fun workshops, relaxing outdoors, and discussions about transmasculine identity and culture. The workshop schedule will be developed after registration closes, with opportunities for each person to submit a workshop proposal. Here's the activity schedule for the July 2022 camp to give you an example of what we do: CLICK HERE. All activities are optional and you can leave or join a workshop at any time.
Food: We serve three hot meals a day, cooked with love by our amazing trans cook. First meal is dinner on Friday, last meal is breakfast on Monday. The menu can accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
Sleeping: Bring your own tent and sleeping bag to camp in the forest.
Hanging out: Enjoy our open-air tarp shelters, fire circles, woodland glades, refreshing brook, and nearby mountain trails.
Sanitation: Poop in the wilderness toilet, pee in the woods, and wash your hands often at our outdoor sink. There are no showers, but you can jump in the brook.
Pets: Please leave your pets at home. This land is already home to 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 4 chickens, so adding more critters brings too much chaos.
Substances: We aim to strike a balance between safe space for sober people and accommodating those who use medicinal substances such as cannabis for personal wellness. Discreet medicinal personal substance use is allowed.
Cost: Sliding scale $175-575.
Our BIPOC Reparations rate is $10.

“Transmasc Camp brought together such a beautiful diversity of experience and identities. The space was very welcoming of folx across the trans masc spectrum.
Camp felt very relaxed with just enough structure and fun programming with zero pressure.
Highly recommend!”
—Big T, Transmasc Camper

Get on the Waiting List For Camp!“I had the space to be myself, in nature, for a whole weekend. To be surrounded by fellow transmascs who were wonderful.
I felt loved, accepted and appreciated, not just in my queerness but also in my neurodivergence. The camp was also very accommodating disability and limitations-wise, which was very important to me.
I can’t wait to come back.”
