2025’s Theme:
SUMMER CAMP
Welcome to CAMP Wanafrolik!
Your favorite summer camp in the heart of Provincetown, MA.
Are you looking for an escape? A home away from home? Somewhere you can meet new friends and chosen family? Well look no further…
Here at Wanafrolik, CAMP is more than just a place – it’s our philosophy of queer joy: Community, Adventure, Magic, and Purpose!
As a chosen camper, you embody all these elements of queer joy, but one radiates more brilliantly within you. This element determines your house, which you’ll proudly call your own during your stay! The Houses are as follows: The House of Kin, The House of Escapade, The House of Allure, & The House of Zeal.
These four houses combined make CAMP Wanafrolik a sacred space for queer and trans men of color. Throughout the weekend, you’ll represent and wear your house colors at certain events while engaging with fellow campers!
With options like yoga, film screenings, dance parties, arts & crafts, panel discussions, and mixers, CAMP Wanafrolik is ready for you to cannonball into a myriad of events. There’s something for everyone!
So whether you’re a new or returning camper, you can be rest assured that 2025 will offer an even grander experience for you!
Click the “Admission” button below to secure your stay at CAMP Wanafrolik. Once admitted, you’ll take a short quiz, which will determine your House! We look forward to meeting you June 18-23rd at CAMP Wanafrolik – your destination for queer joy.
With pleasure,
Your Fierce & Friendly Camp Directors
