Like to camp? The Upper Delaware GLBT Center and Camp Speers-Eljabar YMCA are hosting an LGBT Family Camp Out in the Pocono Mountains this October 3-5, and it looks like a lot of fun.

Boating – Ropes Courses & Zip Line – Fishing
Nature Discovery
Games & Sports – Hikes
Mountain Biking – Climbing Tower – Target Sports
Arts & Crafts
Kids Zone (a parent-free time for young campers)
and much more!!!
Families will stay in spacious 14-person cabins with bunk beds. Some have in-cabin bathrooms and showers and others are near “state-of-the-art” bathhouses. The camp owns 1,100 wooded acres in the Poconos and a private lake for boating and swimming.
Camp Speers-Eljabar YMCA proudly says it is “the original CAMP FOR ALL established in 1948 as the first ever interracial YMCA sleep-away camp.” It’s an hour and a half west of New York City, half an hour north of Route 80 in Northern New Jersey, and two hours north of Philadelphia.
