How to get all information needed at bottom
Please read everything again as some of the content has changed. The LVL PWA Camp outs are for gay men living with HIV-AIDS. There is a mix of HIV positive and negative individuals who may be campers, volunteers, sponsors, partners of or friends of campers who are living with HIV-AIDS.
One thing that was never planned, but does occur at every camp out, are the friendships that are built. Every one, no matter what part Texas they are from, or what state they are from, all share the common bonds of being gay, gay friendly, and are living with HIV/AIDS — or are directly affected by HIV/AIDS, such as a partner or friend of a camper with HIV/AIDS. Being out in the country is very relaxing and sets people at ease.

LVL
PWA Camp Out
The
camp out begins at Noon on Friday, September 16, 2011 and ends at
Noon on Sunday, September 18, 2011. Volunteers who arrive on
Thursday are expected to pitch in and help get the campground ready.
Volunteers who stay over through Sunday night and Monday morning are
expected to help clean up the campground after the camp out.
Many
people are strangers at the start of the camp out but that quickly
changes on its own. You can walk up to a couple of campers sitting
at a picnic table and they are talking about what they felt like
when they were diagnosed. Some may be sitting in front of a tent and
comparing medications that they have been on over the years. A few
campers walking down a trail may be talking about social services in
their city. Another group may be reminiscing “the good old days”. It
is very comforting to all at the campsite that “THEY” are not alone
in their struggle with HIV/AIDS but they are a part of a bigger
“WE”.
