Is this a big three-day party?

Sort of. We strive to facilitate a safe/r, dynamic, and affirming event for connection, adventure, self-discovery, fun and community connection. There will be plenty of laughter, music, play, and joy.. And, it is not a festival or club atmosphere. If you are looking for four days in the woods with traditional campout experiences like campfires, new friends, arts and crafts - and - queer adult company, then this is the event for you.  If you are looking for a festival like atmosphere or nonstop drinking/drugs, then this is not the event for you. 

Is camp a sober event?

It is not, and intoxication is not centered in the Glimmer Camp experience. Federally illegal drugs, including marijuana, are not permitted in the campground. This event is BYOB, campers must be 21+ to imbibe, and it is prohibited to give anyone under 21 alcohol.  

We expect everyone people who choose to imbibe to do so safely and responsibly; we expect folks to not drink to excess or become belligerent. 

Is this a 'singles' event?

You are welcome regardless of your relationship status. Glimmer Camp registration is individual. and we hope that people will feel comfortable to come alone or along with partner(s) and friends. This is not a dating or hook-up centric event, activities are planned for small and large groups. We are sex positive and we ask that hook-ups and physical intimacy wait until after the campout so we can keep the focus on community care. 

What should I bring?

Campers will be provided a full packing list prior to camp. This event is a campout and campers need to bring a tent, bedding, personal dishes, etc.

This campsite is on the Oregon coast, May averages 22% chance of percipitation, high temp of 60 and low temp 48. Nights will be cool so make sure you bring appropriate clothing layers and bedding. You will want to make sure you have appropriate supplies to be in the forested camp environment during the late spring; flashlight, bug spray, sunscreen, toiletries, rain coat, etc. 

Is camp a clothing optional event? 

Camp is not clothing optional. Please do be clothed in some fashion, maybe your best 'camp' fashion. 

Can I bring my pet?

Pets and ESAs are not permitted in the group site. Certified service animals are welcome. 

How much privacy is there at camp?

To be honest, not a lot. The campsite is a big field and tents will be places within a few feet of each other. Bathrooms 

Can I leave during camp?

We strongly encourage everyone to fully immerse themselves in the Glimmer Camp experience and leave the outside world behind for these four magical days. And, you're an adult, so if you need to leave the camp property for any reason during camp, we do ask you to please sign out and then back in at the camp lodge. In case of an emergency we need to have an accurate count of how many people are on camp property. 

Is there wifi or cell reception at camp? Electricity? What about plugging in my devices?

There is no wifi in the campground, cell reception depends on carrier. There is one outlet in the shelter, and it will be used for some activities and food service. If you need to plug in devices we reccomend you bring capability to do so in your vehicle or with a portable battery powered charger.
