A Week of Celebrating Gay Brotherhood

Gay Spirit Camp offers GBTQ men a chance to establish lasting friendships in a fun and uplifting environment, set against the backdrop of the beautiful Easton Mountain retreat, in upstate New York. When you come to Gay Spirit Camp, you will be celebrating with like-minded men, and together we will rekindle our gay spirit during a six-day gathering. The week will be packed with events and workshops all designed to bring us together, to relax us, and to uplift our spirit while learning how to communicate with each other, away from the madness of city life and technology. Events, Activities, and Workshops include Meditation, Yoga, Massage, Arts and Music, Erotic Healing, Nature Walks, Sauna & Hot Tub, Talent Show, Bonfire Rituals, Small Group Sharing, Dance Parties, & More! You can participate in as many or as few activities as you would like with the safety to explore your personal growth areas, or just enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Easton Mountain! Join one of our most popular week-long retreats, and enjoy a special sense of community! Space may be limited so reserve your spot now!

Our events de-emphasize alcohol and other legal substances. Some events may feature a reception or deck party where limited alcohol is available. While we do not require abstinence, we are interested in supporting conscious connections, and wellness in the lives of those we serve. We provide space for 12-step meetings for those who would like to attend them, and we support people making choices regarding their own well being. Illegal substances will not be tolerated.
