I started going to camp there when I was 11 and I loved every second of my 5 years as a camper. Gabe, Erin, and Barbara really know how to make every girl feel good about themselves and provide a place where girls can make friendships that really do last a lifetime. After being a camper, I chose to go back as a counselor as well and that was yet another great experience. Their staff training did not only teach me important counseling skills, it taught me life skills that I have continued to use as an adult. The staff are well prepared to take care of the girls that spend their summer there every year. BT changed my life and I could not be more grateful for such a wonderful, unique, and special place. I made friends there when I was a camper that are still my best friends today. It is an experience that every girl should have a chance to have.

The campground has the best of both worlds whether you come up during the week, on a non event weekend, or event weekend you can always find something to do! It's peaceful, and beautiful--but it's the people who make it truly special. Everyone is welcoming, respectful, and quick to make you feel like part of the 2c family. There's always something going on--whether it's an event, parade, or just sitting around the fire sharing stories and laughs. And of course, the clothing-optional part makes it easy to relax, be yourself, and enjoy the sunshine without a care. Glen and Stephanie do an amazing job running the business while also maintaining genuine friendships and keeping communication open and honest. That balance is rare, and it's a big part of why this place feels so special. Im writing my experience directly and I hope if you think about visiting you express your personal experiences as well! For me this place has given me great friendships, courage I didn't know I had, wonderful memories, and a true sense of home. If you're looking for a safe, friendly, and fun clothing-optional campground, this is it.

Automatically, we begin with four stars just because we appreciate the business and opening such a sexually liberating and free environment for people Add 1 star campground in general. It was clean and well maintained. Very rural, but you are in the middle of nowhere and it's a campground not a luxury resort. Plan accordingly. The People: neither or plus or minus sun stars as the people we talk to were very warm and friendly however there was an established community that could be taken as I bit cliquey. We are fairly outgoing, and it felt welcoming, but we could see how if people were more timid Ted they would feel isolated. The vibe: this was probably the most sexually open and inviting environment we have visited. Gay, lesbian, trans, very kink friendly as well as open to lifestyle is a fabulous thing to offer. Much of it, however it isn't as much our thing so it felt a little overwhelming. We would never yuck anyone else's Yum so we wouldn't take a star away, but we also won't add one as it wasn't perfect for our taste. The party: a good time and worth attending, a good DJ with fun music, but definitely catering to the Younger crowd. No plus or minus stars from us as we typically seek out a sexier environment than a heavy party environment. This felt like a better place to meet and bring people back to your trailer type of vibe. Lose one star: we have never been swarmed by mosquitoes like this before and honestly considered leaving right away as we didn't want to get out of the car to set up our tent. thankfully the couple mix to our site set off some sort of a mosquito bomb and it opened a window for us to get out and set up camp. We don't blame the owners for this, but it did take away from some of the freedom We wanted to experience with nudity and sexual vibe.

It's all about teaching kids to respect themselves, one another, and the environment. Young campers return from Camp Bovey with a renewed sense of purpose, new friendships, and life skills that go beyond learning how to start a camp fire, pitch a tent, fish, canoe and swim (they'll learn those things too, of course, among many other camping skills). This is a non-profit endeavor of East Side Neighborhood Services located in Minneapolis, so there's a sliding-scale fee for those who qualify and diversity among campers and staff. Speaking of staff, the senior staff are seasoned professional, while the summer staff are hired from area colleges, making it the perfect summer job and resume builder. There's a pretty good YouTube video about the camp here: http://www.esns.org/CampBovey You can also find more about what's offered there, including summer employment.
