Free: Outdoors for All: Inclusive Camping Experience – Jan 2027
About the event
Oot & Aboot's Community Camp is a relaxed, low-pressure overnight camping experience designed to bring LGBTQIA+ people and allies together in nature.
This is our 8th camping event, and we're bringing that summer energy. Think warm evenings, bay breezes, and good company. There's no packed schedule or expectations, just space to soak up the season, connect, and enjoy the outdoors together.
This event is proudly supported by Greater Western Water.
