What our campers are saying
I grew up at Camp It Up! and it shows... So much of what I have become is because the people of Camp It Up! helped me pull myself from a shy little girl to an outspoken, goofy and strong adult who is unwavering in her commitment to empowering children and teenagers to change the world.

I like being with daddy and poppa at camp.

Camp It Up has been a welcoming community of support for me for most of my adult life. Of course it is fun to hang out in beautiful nature and enjoy group activities, but the foundation of camp is the safe space that it creates for LGBTQAI+ youth and adults. As a former counselor and program director, I have a ton of beautiful memories of people coming to camp and discovering a whole new level of safety and ease.

Camp is a magic place with spirit and heart; the best of what an intentional community can be. At Camp everyone is expected to be their highest selves—and it works!
Kate Kaufman · Camper Grandma
I like everything at Camp It Up!
Axel · Age 4
Camp it Up! spells S-U-M-M-E-R for our family. Fun, playful, connective, and most important, community! Our three year-old daughter informed us at the end of last summer, "I want to be a counselor one day!" What more could we ask for?
