If you identify as queer of any flavor, you are invited to camp with us September 11th to 14th! The pre-camp Queer Cookout on Saturday, September 5th is a great place to meet some of your fellow campers and arrange rideshares.
Registration
As with prior All Queers Camps, we are continuing to offer Priority Registration for:
BIPOC* queers
Trans Women/Trans fems/Folks affected by transmisogyny
Disabled** queer and queers with disabilities
*BIPOC: People who are Black, African, Asian, Brown, multi-heritage, First Nations, Indigenous to the global south, and/or have been racialized as ‘people of color.’
**Disabled: those excluded from aspects of society due to lack of accessibility (read: social model of disability) and/or those with physical, cognitive, psychiatric, sensorial, and undiagnosed conditions necessitating accommodation, including those who do and do not self-identify as disabled.
Priority Registration links will appear on our website and through our email list soon! General registration will open about a week after.
2026 COVID Protocols
Queer Campout will continue to require all campers to take a provided COVID test upon arrival at the campgrounds. We still encourage campers to test 48 hours prior to packing and heading to the site, as multiple sequential testing drastically reduces the chances of false negative results, AND minimizes the likelihood of having to turn back home. Wearing a well-fitted respirator such as an N95 in shared spaces in the weeks leading up to, and during camp will also reduce the risk of infectious disease. Being well-acquainted with your body and self-screening for changes and unexplained symptoms is an act of self care that you can practice before any gathering. Every layer of protection is an act of love for your community!
Service Animal Protocols
As always, trained service animals are welcome at camp (emotional support pets do not qualify). Please ensure you provide your Service Animal’s information on your registration form, as anyone with an animal not declared a service animal on their registration will be asked to take their pet elsewhere for the duration of camp. Please email us at queercampoutnm@gmail.com if you would like assistance finding pet care during camp, and we will do our best to help.
ASL Interpretation Offerings
Queer Campout has committed to offering ASL interpretation at the Spring and Fall Camps (Usually May and September), the Pre-Camp Meet and Greet Potlucks, and official QCO inter-camp events. We are scheduling this service prior to registration/RSVPs to ensure coverage, hopefully giving our deaf and hard of hearing friends the ability to attend and enjoy events with minimal required advance communication. Of course, we still welcome any questions or concerns you have about your accessibility needs. We prioritize hiring queer interpreters when possible.
This is a significant financial commitment for our organization, and if you would like to contribute your time/services as an interpreter or have the means to support this commitment financially, please let us know!
Scent-Conscious Offerings
Iin order to reduce scent exposure for campers who are chemically sensitive, QCO will be providing the following fragrance-free products for campwide use:
- Hand soap
- Hand sanitizer
- Body Moisturizer
- Sun Screen
- Bug Spray

Our website and your email inbox will be the best source of updates and information about the 2026 Fall All Queers Camp. Please make sure that we are in your contacts or safe senders list as queercampout@gmail.com and hello@qcampout.org !
We have been experiencing ongoing issues with Instagram despite our account supposedly being in good status, and want to make the best use of our volunteers’ time and efforts. While that account is limited, we appreciate any invitations you share with your social circle on our behalf. Feel free to direct the queer outdoor enthusiasts in your life to https://queercampoutnm.org/contact/ if they would like information about the fall camp and future events.
Mark your calendars, brush off your gear, and we’ll see you soon!
