Help Us Host a Post-Op Retreat!

Imagine this: after years of blood, sweat, trust, tears, and waiting, you’re finally on the other side of one of the biggest and most challenging milestones of your life. With scars and tender hopes, you set back off into the world carrying the weight of an experience so few people around you truly understand. You’ve actually never even met anybody else who’s walked this path.

Now, imagine walking into a retreat just for folks like you; a spa sanctuary where you’re not medicalized, you’re not an educator, and you’re not a spectacle – you’re a whole person, safe to fully be yourself and unwind without fear of judgment. You’ve found community and peace.

That’s Quest Camp: the only retreat in the world created by and for post- lower surgery transmasculine people. We had our first camp in 2024, and in January 2026, we’re gathering again for a bigger and better retreat – with your help.

Why Quest Camp Matters

Post-op transmasculine people are largely overlooked when it comes to resources and spaces to connect and share our experiences. According to the 2022 U.S. Trans Survey, only 2% of the transmasculine population has had bottom surgery. Even in trans spaces, our experiences can feel invisible. While loved ones may support us, if we’re fortunate enough, it’s not the same as connecting with people who personally understand what you’ve been through. We are only a tiny fraction of the population, but we are here – and we deserve opportunities to come together and celebrate our resilience.

At Quest Camp, we:

Rest, play, and reconnect to our bodies and our joy
Have fireside conversations that can’t be had anywhere else
Explore nature, creativity, and movement
Share wisdom, swap stories, exchange ideas and skills
Experience the freedom of being fully ourselves, together

Our community needs a space like Quest Camp. Your support makes it possible.

Scholarships so no one is turned away for lack of funds
Retreat space & lodging at a beautiful, private rustic resort
Meals & activities that nurture body and soul

Some examples of what your support could mean:

A guy from the South who’s never met another post-op peer can finally feel at home.
Someone who had no support gets to grow a chosen family.
An elder who has had surgical complications is able to relax for the first time in 20 years.

What Campers Say

"I feel deeply connected to Quest Camp the same way humanity is connected to a bonfire. It made me feel connected to my people and my ancestors who have gone on this journey."

“Never in my life have I been surrounded by people like me. Camp was profound to say the least. This was one of my most impactful experiences in recent memory.”

“I haven’t laughed like that since I was a kid. I didn’t have community before this. Quest Camp was the best experience of my life.”

“Quest Camp showed me that I am not alone. I got to just be myself around other people like me for the very first time. I have a new outlook on community now.”
