About

We are Camp Trans CIC.

A surreal, dream-like pocket in time and space. 

We are a muddy, sunny, joy-filled camping festival inspired by radicals in communion, filled with art performances in the sun, workshops in fields, readings in the woods, bonfires under stars, jumping in lakes, swimming in the rain, climbing of trees, celebration, reflection, rest, new connections, deep friendships, and honest love.

The word ‘utopia’ was used a lot and I can't think of a better word for it.

We are made by and for people who are trans, non-binary, intersex and gender non-conforming, together we create healing and nurturing spaces within the contexts of nature, creativity, and community. 

A magical week that was immensely healing, I had a permanent grin on my face. 

We were inspired by the annual protest demonstration and event held outside the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival from the late 1990s, galvanised by trans-activist figures including Leslie Feinberg and Riki Ann Wilchins. Read Imogen Binnie's essay and Michelle Tea's essay.
