TEAR DOWN!!!
And that's not even taking into account the Daily New Camper Check-Ins with Imogen in the Welcome Tent at noon, Or the Daily Advocate meetings after Lunch with Ali Blue for those who want to be a part of making CT a safer space, or the Nightly Community Meetings during the second half of each dinner. Plus! DIY caucus times, dotted all over the map.
As organizers, we've done what we could this year to make sure that there's a lot to do, but the best part of CT is, well, you. So come on this year! Bring your own charm to these events. Fill our program holes with what you want to see, or just come and spend a week in a special space and duck all the programming. Here at CT, it's all about having choice, and having your choices valued as much as we possibly can.
Camp Trans is an annual gathering of trans people and their allies in Michigan with the intent of:
Protesting the exclusion of trans women from women-only spaces, most notably the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival;
Building a trans-inclusive community that is welcoming and safe for all;
Empowering the next generation of activists to fight for trans issues locally through organizer trainings, workshops, and leadership development; and
Advocating for the inclusion of trans issues in progressive, queer, and feminist movements by building coalitions with supportive organizations and bringing attention to local campaigns.
