Theme Fun: Knights of the Queer Table:

This year’s theme is Knights of the Queer Table, and we’ll be celebrating all week with some legendary queer medieval moments!

Renaissance Faire – Wednesday Night
We’ll be hosting our very own Renaissance Faire at camp. Come in costume if you’d like—think peasants and potion-sellers, wandering bards, dramatic royalty, or any medieval fantasy flair you dream up!

Field Trip – Thursday Night
We’ll leave camp for a fancy medieval evening that includes:

• A banquet-style dinner fit for a royal court
• A fabulous medieval drag show
• A dance to end the night in full fairytale style

This is another chance to dress up if you want to—whether that’s a velvet gown, a knight’s tunic, glittery chainmail, flower crowns, or anything that makes you feel radiant.

Theme outfits are totally optional! Some campers will go all-out, and some will be comfy in shorts and a tee. All styles are welcome—you do you!

Please leave at home:

• Weapons of any kind (including pocket knives)
  • Foam or other safe costume "weapons" are allowed this year
• Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or vaping materials
• Pets (except approved service animals)
