We are absolutely thrilled to announce the most anticipated event on our calendar: Pride Camp 2026! Next summer, from in July -August , the vibrant city of Oldenburg, Germany will be home to a week of community, connection, and pure queer joy.
Why Oldenburg for Pride Camp 2026?
Oldenburg, located in Lower Saxony, is more than just a beautiful city—it’s a hub of progressive thinking and a growing, welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community. Its blend of historic charm, thriving cultural scene, and excellent infrastructure makes it the perfect backdrop for our immersive camp experience.
We’re securing an incredible, accessible venue just outside the city center, which will allow us to offer both a peaceful, natural retreat and easy access to all the fun Oldenburg has to offer.
What to Expect: Building Community, One Workshop at a Time
Pride Camp isn’t just a getaway; it’s a chance to connect, learn, and grow. Our program for Summer 2026 is being designed to offer a diverse and enriching experience for all attendees:
- Empowerment Workshops: We’ll be hosting sessions focused on topics critical to the queer community, including mental health and well-being, navigating trans identities, queer history, and anti-discrimination strategies.
- Creative Spaces: Get hands-on with arts, crafts, and performance! Expect everything from drag makeup tutorials and banner-making to creative writing and theater games.
- Outdoor Adventures: We’ll take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings with nature walks, group sports, and perhaps even a trip to a nearby lake or the coast.
- Social & Celebration: Every evening will bring opportunities to connect, whether through cozy bonfire chats, a massive Rainbow Talent Show, or our spectacular end-of-week Pride Dance Party.
Pride Camp is a safe, affirming, and sober space where everyone, regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or background, can truly be themselves.
