Episode Summary
IN THE LIFE goes on “gaycation” with Sweet and Camp Oneida, two destinations where wayfarers come together to have fun and commune with nature, while strengthening the LGBT community.
Sweet
Lesbian volunteers bring positive visibility and lend a helping hand to local communities while vacationing in the Caribbean with Sweet, a lesbian travel company that merges travel with social and environmental awareness.
“We are ambassadors when we go on these community service projects. We’re bringing with us our really positive attitude and our belief that we can make a difference,” Jen Rainin, Co-Founder, Sweet.
Camp Oneida
In rural areas all over the United States there are campgrounds specifically for gay men and lesbians. Among them is Camp Oneida where a tight knit community of LBGT campers find a supportive space and lasting friendships.
“I think what most people are looking for is the basic need of acceptance. Basic acceptance for who they are, what they do, how the live their life,” Derek Sutherland, Manager, Camp Oneida.
