Gear Library

Full summer season inventory coming April 24th, 2025!

At Out at Camp, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore the great outdoors. Our Gear Library is dedicated to supporting the 2SLGBTQ+ community by providing access to high-quality camping and outdoor equipment. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to outdoor activities, we have something for you.

Why a Gear Library?

We understand that acquiring outdoor gear can be expensive and challenging, especially for those just starting out. Our Gear Library aims to remove these barriers by offering a wide range of equipment available for loan. From tents and sleeping bags to cooking supplies and hiking gear, we have everything you need for your next adventure.
