Things to note:

  • Please ensure that everyone in your group who is 18 years of age or older registers individually.
  • Please make sure you specify if you require any accommodations and fill out the registration form as accurately as you are able.

  • If you cannot commit to a role before camp, you will sign up for shifts at camp check-in.
Whether you’re a new camper or a seasoned camper, there’s a team for you:

Do you love logistics?

September campout needs two Team Leaders and multiple coordinators for the Onsite Resources team.

Do you have medical or first aid training and wanna help keep us all healthy?

September campout needs two Health and Safety Team Leaders + more medics. 

If leading a team isn’t a fit for you…

DART, Care Bears and Onsite Resources need Helpers! Helper roles have the support of Team Leaders and Coordinators. 

We can’t wait to camp together in just 25 days!
Registration is open for all campers. We are at 34% capacity.

May Registration Is Open & Other Announcements

Queer Campout is in the Jemez mountains from May 19th–22nd. Want to join us? We’re trying out a few new things! Find the link to register below. 

The May Campout Will Be 18+

One of our values at QCO is creating an inclusive space. That means providing necessary support and resources within our capacity to those that attend. We’ve realized that making QCO a genuinely family-friendly event requires us to have a Family Coordinator and a team of folks who are willing and able to create a space for children to be entertained and cared for during the campout. We don’t have enough capacity to coordinate this for the May campout. Please let us know if you want to make this happen for the September campout in Tijeras! 

Registration Is Open! 

  • April 3: Registration opens for QTBIPOC, trans fem/women, and disabled folks
  • April 17: General registration opens—all queers can register!
  • May 5th: Registration closes
  • May 19–22: Campout weekend

Sunday, July 24 Registration opens to everyone else who registered for the May campout
Sunday, July 31 Registration opens to everyone (if there is still room)

General Registration NOW OPEN for Queer Campout in Tijeras on May 20-23

We would love for you to join us for a weekend of fun, camping, community, and nature!

We are doing a tiered registration process:

  • Early registration for BIPOC, Trans feminine/Trans women, and folx with disabilities/disabled folx: Sunday, March 20 to Saturday, April 2nd
  • General registration: Sunday, April 3rd to Friday, May 6
  • Registration closes at the end of day Friday, May 6

This tiered registration allows us to make Queer Campout more accessible to queer folx for whom camping is often inaccessible.
