Grab your sack lunch and get ready for the Summer Gay Camp of your dreams. Join be queer now for a lavish day filled with gaiety, laughter, and community. We’ll weave together yoga practices (like meditation, movement, and breath) with classic Summer Camp activities (like art, games, and story time.) Bring your inner child out to play and find nourishment alongside your fellow queers.
We’ll spend the day in our own world, surrounded by the beauty of Prospect Park.
As we engage in play, we’ll teach our nervous systems that we can orient towards safety, creativity, and growth. As we reconnect to nature, we’ll remember our place in the world. And as we practice all of this in queer community, we’ll strengthen our collective power and pleasure.
Bring a yoga mat, water, and curiosity. Summer Gay Camp, here we come!
