EsseCamp Oban '26 Photo-Dump 🏳️‍⚧️

EsseCamp Oban '26 Done ✅️ A massive thank you to everyone that contributed their time and money towards a fantastic weekend. 🏳️‍⚧️💙

All set up! We take up to 25 trans and non-binary people for a *free* weekend of wildcamping, activities and good times, between 2 and 4 times each year. A chance for the community to get a break from the world, get a change of scenery, and reduce social isolation.

EsseCamp Oban, the last of 2026, and the best trans & non-binary wild-camping adventure in the UK starts TODAY. We lay on activities and cater 3 meals a day for all diets, for FREE for all attendees; funded by the community & allies. Help us buy some sausages? www.essehouse.co.uk/donate

We had a great weekend in Oban, with @essehouse.bsky.social teaming up with @obanpride.com to deliver a trans and non-binary camping holiday. If you were there, we were the ones giving out free temporary pride tattoos and face-painting :)
