Long Lake Conservation Center sits on 760 acres and features a private lake, miles of hiking trails, ski trails, a bog boardwalk, geocaches, and more! 

Camp has dormitory style rooms with either two or four bunkbeds. Each room has a private shower and toilets, and sinks with vanities. These rooms are designed to accommodate Nature School field trip groups, but are comfortable for adults as well. You’ll need to bring your own linens or sleeping bag.

We have a limited number of private rooms available upon request. If you have friends you’re signing up with, just let us know their names and we’ll try to get you all in a shared room. While we cannot guarantee your room preferences, we will do our best to accommodate you.

We’re staying at a nature center in the woods. We’ve got a mix of activities that run from outdoor adventures to relaxing chill to group goofiness. The vibes are immaculate. This is our third time hosting a camp and the goal is mainly to get weird in the woods with elder queers (using the term elder SO LOOSELY-we’re 30+ years old).

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided by Long Lake Conservation Center. BYO snacks and beverages.

Please indicate your dietary needs when you register for camp, so we can inform the chef ahead of time. Long Lake’s Chef Joel does a great job accommodating many allergies and restrictions.

We will send out a full menu before camp starts.

Long Lake facilities are ADA accessible with 6 dorm rooms specifically for ADA/wheelchair use. They also welcome service animals.

We do our best to make sure camp is accessible and safe. If you have a particular accommodation request, please let us know so we may best support your needs.

Fret not, my friend! You’ll get an email with a welcome packet a few weeks prior to camp with everything else you’ll need to know. This will include directions, contact info, a detailed schedule, what to pack, etc.

You will also get access to a Signal chat for registered campers where you can discuss things like carpooling, what to bring, etc., with other campers ahead of time.

If there are any questions, comments, burning desires, please feel free to message me at madelynsteen@hushmail.com and I’ll get back to you.

Queer Camp is dedicated to equity and accessibility because we believe we are better with diverse perspectives. We are excited to share about a partial scholarship opportunity for any BIPOC community members interested in coming to camp.

The Queer Summer Camp BIPOC partial scholarship is for 8 campers for $300 off each the total price, whether you register for 3 nights or 4.

This partial scholarship is available on a first come first serve basis. The privilege that affords some of us to attend or host this retreat was built upon trauma and inequity to BIPOC people and this scholarship is meant to be one small step towards acknowledging the harm.  

Simply state you would like to use a scholarship at registration check-out, and if we have one available, it’s yours!
