CAMP PRIDE 2024

july 9 - 12, 2024

A fully immersive event hosted BY VANLIFE PRIDE

As members of the queer community, we know all too well that most of us did not get to experience being our full, true selves as children. Camp Pride exists to allow adult queer folks the opportunity to get in touch with that inner child and relive some incredible childhood memories, including camp, playing games with friends, and even prom!
