Chrysalis: a protecting covering.

Also: a sheltered state or stage of being or growth.

Join Queerly ME for Camp Chrysalis, a retreat for transgender, genderqueer, and nonbinary folks who are 21+ and seeking a soft place to land and rest, entering a new phase of life, or embracing their growth. Light activities will be offered such as heart circles each morning—a practice in receptive listening and group sharing, guided nature observations, crafting, canoe trips on a nearby pond, and stargazing.

Our sliding scale is $100 - $200 per person for the weekend pending individual financial capacity. We are committed to reducing financial barriers to all of our programs. If you are in need of financial assistance to attend Camp Chrysalis or have any questions before submitting pre-registration, please email info@queerlyme.org.

Amenities:

• Bunkhouse Beds, 3-14 per dorm or tent camping. Queerly ME can provide any outdoor gear you need through Maine Gearshare including a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, or camp stove.

• Equipped kitchen. Participants bring their own food for the weekend.

• Shared shower house.

• Kayaks & canoes. PFDs supplied and required.

• Campfire ring.

Accessibility:

There is one wheelchair accessible cabin. The bathhouse, sauna, and main lodge are also wheelchair accessible. The outdoor campus paths are hardened gravel, but some paths to certain areas of campus are steep riddled with roots including the pathway to the pond nearby and the pathway to the campfire ring.
