REGISTER FOR TRANSCAMP
TransCamp is unlike any other camping experience. TransCamp is a space for both experienced and first-time campers alike. We take a lot of time to plan out the location, and to prioritize the safety and accessibility of our trips. It is a space that is equally as welcoming of gender non-conforming folks as it is of trans binary folks. We feel strongly that by creating a space where a large group of transgender people can safely be outdoors together, we are normalizing our belonging in outdoor spaces and making outdoor activities safe for our whole community.
If you have any questions, please review our detailed FAQ page or reach out to us at [email protected]
