What Is CAMP Rehoboth and the Community
Center?
This year is a thrilling time for the CAMP
Rehoboth Community Center. Along with the construction of our new building
we are beginning the long overdue task of redesigning our web site. Though
we are still some months away from the completion of that project, the
preparation for it is requiring an intense examination of who we are, what
we are, what we do, and what we need to say about ourselves.
CAMP Rehoboth is a non-profit, gay and
lesbian community service organization, originally developed to “Create
A More Positive” relationship among all the people of the Rehoboth Beach
area. Over the last 17 years it has grown into a full service community
center with a multitude of activities, events, and programs.
From our highly visible magazine, Letters
from CAMP Rehoboth to the fundraising and partnering it does for other
non-profit organizations; CAMP Rehoboth and its Community Center have
become a vital part of downtown Rehoboth Beach. While the focus of CAMP
Rehoboth continues to be the gay and lesbian community and its
relationship to the greater community around it, CAMP Rehoboth has also
maintained and strengthened a long tradition of working with all
organizations—both gay and straight.

• Community Space, Meeting Rooms, Public
Courtyard

The completion of Phase Two of the CAMP
Rehoboth Community Center construction (summer 2008) will provide the
large multi-purpose room, kitchen, additional restrooms and workspace
needed for the continued growth of the Community Center. Phase Two also
includes a new design and complete renovation of the popular CAMP Rehoboth
Community Center Courtyard.
When fully operational, the new wing of the
CAMP Rehoboth Community Center will provide conference and retreat space
available to organizations from all over the mid-Atlantic region.
