All across the country, they met countless passionate young feminists who knew how to do big things on their campuses—but didn't know what to do after graduation. They needed help and guidance. Through Soapbox, the feminist speakers' bureau they founded, Amy and Jennifer had extensive experience helping colleges and universities bring leading feminist speakers to inspire their communities. So they
decided to invert that idea: instead of sending speakers out, let's bring all these incredible feminists together in one place. We'll introduce them to all the amazing folks we know doing feminist work on the ground every day. They will see exactly what that Women's Studies degree is good for, and learn about some of the ways feminism can be applied beyond theory and classrooms. And so Feminist Camp was born in New York City. After hosting 1-2 camps per year since 2006, the Feminist Camp 2018 Calendar includes two New York City camps (January and June), summer camps in Seattle and other surprise cities, one international camp in Zambia (late June), one camp at Hampshire College for high school students (July), and at least one exclusive program for camp alumni.
