Join Queerly ME over Labor Day weekend for an off-grid two night, three day trip to Flagstaff Hut! Flagstaff Hut is situated on the east shore of Flagstaff Lake. Trails from the hut deliver stunning views of the lake and the Bigelow mountain range.
All participants must be LGBTQIA+, 21+, and Maine Residents. There is a 2.2 mile hike into the campsite. All packed items will be shuttled in before we begin our hike. Pre-registration closes August 5th.
These camping trips are carefully curated to match each campers' preferences, comfortabilities, and needs in an overnight group. Filling out a form does not guarantee a spot on the overnight trip. We will reach out via email directly to confirm you and provide additional details. There will be priority given to folks who have not been on overnight trips with us before as well as Rural LGBTQIA+ individuals and Queer BIPOC. That being said, there should be enough room for folks who have joined us before to join us again this season!
