Summer Camp?
"International Rainbow Summer Camp" is the name of the summer meeting for gays and lesbians that we have arranged as Kaos Gay and Lesbian Cultural Research and Solidarity Association (Kaos GL).
From picnic to camp: The Rainbow Summer Camp
We are turning the picnics that we have been arranging every year since 1997 into the "International Summer Camp" for gays and lesbians this summer. We see camps and picnics as our practice of reaching beyond the places and relationships that we have been imprisoned in. In this camp, which is one of our steps towards coming out in daily life, we would like to be all together this summer.
Camp: We are joining our vacations!
By moving from one-day-long picnics to one week of summer camp, we want our join our vacations. With the summer camp, we gay-lesbian-bisexual people want to have a vacation that becomes the name "Rainbow", altogether. We want to swim in the sea and walk on the mountain. We plan to communicate and interact, through social, cultural, artistic and psychological workshops.
How Can I join the Summer Camp?
The Rainbow Summer Camp welcomes all gays, lesbians and bisexuals from Turkey and all parts of the World.
OK, but when is the camp?
The camp is arranged for one week between July 3-9, 2006. It starts on Monday and finishes on Sunday evening.
Those who cannot stay the whole week can also choose the option which are 4-5 or 3-4 days long.
Where do we go?
The camp site is on the Ancient Lycia Road, in the beautiful bay called Kabak Koyu, near Fethiye. There are more than one camping sites in Kabak Koyu. One of these has been reserved for the Rainbow Summer Camp between July 3-9.
How do I get there?
