Imagine a camp weekend where you already know you’ll fit (literally and figuratively)

For most fat folks, outdoor spaces, group meals, swimming, cabins, movement, and trying new activities have come with a lifetime of body shame and surveillance. Rad Fat Adventure Camp is different. This is a weekend built by and for fat people, where the point is not to shrink, perform, or prove anything. The point is to rest, play, connect, laugh, try things, and be around people who get it.

And, yes, we’ve done all the weight limit and size checks so you can simply show up and enjoy camp. Come to Rad Fat Camp where you can let all your worries go.

Come alone. Leave with a community.

Lots of campers arrive solo, nervous, or unsure whether they’ll know anyone. You do not need to come with a group to belong here. Camp is designed with community-building in mind, with sessions, shared activities, and slower spaces to connect so you are not left to figure it all out alone.
