Welcome to TransCampOUT 2012

TransCampOUT is a trans-oriented, trans-positive, sex and body positive, kinky event committed to providing a safe, fun, supportive environment for community building and individual growth through a diverse range of activities. TransCampOUT is geared toward all people outside the binary gender spectrum and their supporters.

TCO is the biggest camping event in the midwest that's primary focus is the transgender and gender queer community. The event is 100% created by and for our community, our allies, and our supporters.  We love everyone though!  Regardless of your gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, kinky, or vanilla, we welcome all as long as you support the tg and gq community we bid you, please Come As You Are.

Here's some quotes from some past attendees:

"I never realized how awesome it would be to be at an event where I was in the majority and not fielding gender identity 101 questions. I never felt so comfortable in my own skin." 

"As a some what shy but curious person, I found the more activities I participated in the more fun I had. (Even if it meant getting up a little early for a workshop"

"I was nervous, shy, and ultimately completely at home.
Camp changed my life for the better and has pulled me out of my shell so to speak. Camp has brought me great memories, friends, and comfort in and with my own skin"

"I have confidence in my sexy curves and feel at home about showing off enough skin for me to feel hot. Knowing everyone supports me. :) I felt entirely at home and even made a few lasting friendships / relationships happen"

"I have been coming to campout for 4 years. I would say that this is the only event i won't ever miss. The amazing respect and community I feel ever year is like no other. It is the most amazing thing to feel free to be who you are, naked or clothes...gay, straight, Bi, Queer or somewhere between/outside. I love coming"

"if you're trans and kinky, it's a must-go event. There are so few that are specifically focused on this particular subculture. You'll make friends, likely for long term, if you do"

"I got so much self confidence in myself, that I am actually sexy in THIS BODY that I finally took the step that I've (always) wanted to."

"The confidence I brought back from CampOut eventually lead to my girl confessing something to me, which was a fantasy of mine for most of my life. I've been a very happy guy."

"The single greatest thing about CampOUT was the feeling of freedom and love and appreciation. I basked in my nakedness which is not something I do all that often. "

"(My favorite part was) Being comfortable being naked and being respected as a transguy. I still can't believe I was such an exhibitionist."

"CampOUT is my favorite annual event because it is a community building event in which people who are frequently on the fringe of the kink community are placed in the center. I have been to many kink events and rarely am I the only trans guy. There is something different about trans guys, genderqueers, and genderfuckers being the largest contingent of attendees."

"SO many great moments this year! Mainly I dug the ENERGY, though, which felt relaxed, smooth, loving, sexy, and playful - AWESOME! I got SO much more out of it this year than previous years, and that's saying a TON! Thanks to everyone!"

"For me the favorite moments were the millions of moments spent CONNECTING with one and all I came across. I felt like a kid in a candy store! "

"My favorite moments revolved around feeling the level of comfort around everyone there. We all appreciated each others bodies and could see what everyone was about. There was such a positive and loving vibe all through camp. Everyone looked out for each others well being. I was very happy to have met and experienced the great things that I did."

"I think a favorite memory, regarding comfort levels was when I went topless one evening, and all my normal anxieties about people staring at me, or avoiding looking at me, I didn't feel awkward about it. I'll show off my legs more than most men, but I never like showing my torso, and being able to do that made me feel better about my body."

"Life has come full circle since CampOut 2010, and even though the circle is not bringing me back to CampOut 2011 this year, it has bought me another year of life. You see, if I had not gone to CampOut 2010 I think I would have died last summer. Or in the Winter. It does not matter when; CampOut saved my life one way or another."

At TransCampOUT, we strive to provide a safe, comfortable, inclusive space for trans, gender queer, kinky and leather identified people and their allies. TCO is a great place to meet new people or socialize with old friends, learn new things, play with others, commune with nature, or just plain relax. The atmosphere at TCO is one of community and acceptance - a place where trans and gender queer people can be open and celebrate their bodies and sexuality among like-minded peers and allies. People of all identities and forms of expression are welcome - the only requirement is mutual respect for all. There are many fun activities to be had at TCO, and a wide array of people come to share their knowledge and experience with us as well as socialize in a comfortable environment. Join us as we celebrate such subjects as trans identity and alternative gender expressions, sexuality, BDSM, and kinky and queer spirituality.

TransCampOUT 2012 represents coming as you are, in whatever way you want and totally letting your true nature out, in whatever form that may be. Where you will be accepted and embraced in whatever form you come in.

This year's TransCampOUT will take place from July 11-15, at the beautiful Long Fork Retreat in Walton, West Virginia once again.

Update: Menu available on the registration page!

Update: CampOUT is Green! At past TransCampOUT meals, we have gone through hundreds of paper plates, plastic ware and styrofoam cups each year. This is unnecessarily wasteful, and as such our new camp chef has encouraged us to make a change. In the interests of our new commitment to increased environmental awareness, TCO encourages all attendees to bring their own plate, bowl, eating utensils and a cup. There is a washing station at the campground where you will be able to clean them. If you cannot bring your own or forget, there will be disposables available on site for $1.00 a meal. We hope you will be willing to do your part to cut back on unnecessary trash!
