A Farm Summer Program experience for Queer and Gender Expansive Youth and Youth from LGBTQ+ Families

CampOUT 2024 will be at The Farm School in central Massachusetts on beautiful farm and forest land.
CampOUT will be in its 14th year in 2024. CampOUT provides unique overnight farm camp experiences where youth can learn about farming, gardening, and experience living on a working farm. Participants get to be members of a farm community and share in the fun of summer program activities.

Young people have the opportunity to talk openly about their families and the experience of being part of an LGBTQ+ family and member of the queer community.
