The dreamers of A Queer Camp: two deeply compassionate souls who believe in the power of rest, nature, and queer connection. Together, they’ve built a space where authenticity thrives, where being yourself feels easy, and where healing happens naturally under open skies.

Jessie brings over 15 years of experience in frontline mental health and healthcare. After years of supporting others through their own journeys, she recognized her own need for rest; to slow down, reconnect with her body, and nurture her nervous system back to balance. Through that healing, Jessie discovered the importance of spaciousness, community, and the simple beauty of being present.

Find Jessie with the clipboards, having tea on the beach or reading in a hammock.

Skylar, with 15 years in the culinary world and education, has always found meaning in bringing people together through food and shared experience. As a queer, neurodivergent person, Skylar has spent years exploring what it means to find belonging during times of transition. Their path led them to create inclusive spaces where all kinds of minds and bodies feel welcomed, celebrated, and nourished, inside and out.

Find Skylar in the Kitchen, collecting rocks or floating in the lake.

Together, Jessie and Skylar are creating a Canadian retreat for queer folks craving connection, spiritual renewal, and the grounding magic of the outdoors. Their camp is a sanctuary for authenticity: a place to breathe deeply, move slowly, and rediscover joy in community and the natural world.

Liam along with husband Alex are the all trans married duo that are soon to become your backcountry camping dream team. For over a decade, these two have been embarking on self supported wilderness expeditions together. In fact, they spent their honeymoon enduring some of the nastiest portages in Northern Ontario! Liam and Alex have each traveled thousands of kilometers by foot and canoe through some of the most rugged and remote landscapes Canada has to offer- from the wildest corners of Temagami to the high alpine of the Rockies. Both healthcare workers by day, you can be sure you will be safe and fully supported by these two while exploring the backcountry. Liam is the nutritionist and chef who will be whipping up delicious and nourishing meals over the campfire. Alex is the PSW with a background in wilderness canoe trip guiding. He will lovingly tend to your cuts and scrapes, and patiently teach you the best way to maneuver your canoe through a windy creek. 

Find Liam: DMing your next Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

 Find Alex: jamming out to some gnarly drum and bass.
