The Summer Glamp

July 24th - 27th, 2025

Join 60+ Lesbifriends for an unforgettable camp retreat at River Mountain Resort, a serene oasis located in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. Just a short drive from major cities like Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, this resort offers a perfect blend of luxury and nature. Enjoy modern, minimalist accommodations designed by award-winning architects, ensuring both comfort and a deep connection to the stunning outdoors. With 150 acres of pristine landscape, including access to more than 30,000 acres of state park land, River Mountain provides endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.

This camp is designed to celebrate you—Black women and other people of color—stepping into a space of joy, empowerment, and community. Every moment is crafted to make you feel free, alive, and connected. You’ll laugh, reflect, dance, and grow—all while surrounded by the beauty of nature and a supportive crew of fellow campers. This summer camp is everything your inner child (and adult) has been dreaming of.

Day One

✈️ WELCOME TO CAMP!

Welcome to your weekend escape! After your arrival, you’ll be greeted with a camp-style gift bag filled with goodies to kick off the adventure. Settle into your glamping tents/yurts/ with stunning mountain views—perfect for that first deep breath of freedom.

The evening kicks off with a warm welcome circle, giving you the chance to meet your fellow campers, facilitators, and leaders. Once we’ve set the tone for the retreat, it’s time to dive into a mouthwatering community dinner that brings together the best of plant-based and soul food goodness.

  • Later, we’ll gather ‘round the campfire for storytelling and, of course, s’mores (because camp isn’t camp without them, right?).

    Finally, wrap up your night with a restorative yoga session under the stars, easing you into a calm and restful slumber. The best part? This is just the beginning!

Day Two

☯️MINDFULNESS & ADVENTURE

Rise and shine! Start your day with sunrise yoga, letting your body flow with the beauty of nature all around you. After a delicious breakfast at the Old Log Cabin, we’ll dive into a mindful meditation and journaling workshop—because this weekend is all about YOU. Get those reflections and intentions on paper, and feel that inner glow.

After lunch, we’ll explore the wilderness with a mindful nature hike that’s sure to fill your soul with peace and connection. The afternoon brings creativity to the forefront with a fun and therapeutic workshop where you can get your hands busy with art therapy or create vision boards.

  • You can unwind during free time or join a peaceful riverside meditation, but don’t miss the magic of sunset happy hour.

    As the night falls, we’ll enjoy a soulful, Southern-style group dinner before gathering around the fire one last time for a gratitude circle. It’s time to reflect, share, and soak up the love and joy of this incredible experience.

Day Three

🌲WORKSHOPS & CELEBRATING SELF

Get ready to align mind, body, and spirit with morning yoga and meditation to start your day centered. A hearty breakfast gets you fueled up for an exciting outdoor skills workshop where you’ll learn to build fires, navigate the wilderness, and maybe even pick up some camp cooking skills!

After a picnic lunch, we’ll gather for a Queer Empowerment Workshop that’s all about embracing our identities, building community, and stepping into our power. The fun continues with classic camp games—think sack races, tug-of-war, and even a water balloon toss!

  • There’s free time to enjoy camp games or simply relax, but don’t miss out on social hour where happy vibes meet happy hour!

    And when the sun goes down, we’re turning up the energy with a glow-in-the-dark dance party—glow sticks, music, and some unforgettable moves under the stars.

    Ready to vibe out and celebrate? Let’s go!

Day Four

👋🏽FAREWELL FLOW

Our last morning together begins with a gentle yoga session to stretch and breathe before we say our goodbyes.

A final breakfast at the Old Log Cabin gives you time to savor the connections you’ve made before packing up and departing with a full heart. But don’t worry—this isn’t really the end.

You’re leaving camp with new Lesbifriends, rejuvenated energy, and all the magic of the past few days tucked safely into your memories (and your journal, of course).

Travel Insurance

Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Lesbifriends Travel requires you to have travel insurance for any trip you take with us. Your premium is related to your trip cost, so you don’t have to worry about being over-insured. We want to make your travel experience seamless, so sign up and we will get a travel insurance policy for you or we can provide you with a no obligation quote. If you opt not to go with our preferred travel insurance provider, you are required to get your own and proof of insurance may be requested before the trip.

Payments and Payment Plans

Get 10% off your entire trip if you pay in full at the time of the initial booking. Use discount code FULL during check out to save on your trip package. Please note that discount codes don’t apply to add-on options, and you can only use one code per booking. 

All payments to Lesbifriends Travel are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is because Lesbifriends Travel has contractual agreements with hotels, airlines, and other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds. This way we can keep our package prices low and allow you to make monthly payments on your vacation.

When you sign up for a trip, you are automatically signed up for monthly payments and your confirmation email will clearly note your due dates and amount. We suggest you put this payment plan on your personal calendar.

A $75 late fee will be applied to all payments made after the 3-day grace period. Your trip is subject to cancellation without a refund after two missed payments.

  • If you are traveling alone and do not want to spend the extra money for a single occupancy room, we are happy to match you with a like-minded traveler to be your roommate on this trip. We understand that the extra money spent in getting your own room takes away from the money available for you to splurge while on vacation.

    For that reason, we extend each traveler the option of having us pair you with a suitable roommate for no additional cost. Roommates are paired based on room selection and a potential roommate questionnaire if there are several solo travelers. Before the trip, you will be introduced to your roommate, with plenty of time for you to get to know each other before we reach our destination.

  • Do you know someone who is interested in joining our trip but has not been to a Lesbifriend event or trip? Here is your chance to save a little money while bringing them on a trip of a lifetime!

    For every traveler that you refer to our trip, you will receive up to a $150 ($25 cash, $50 current trip credit, or $75 future domestic trip credit, or $150 future international trip credit) referral bonus once that person pays in full. There is no limit to the number of people you can refer; the only condition is that anyone you refer has not already signed up with Lesbifriends.

    Be sure to tell your friend to enter your name on the registration form under “Who Referred You.”
