Hello Hartosexuals! A-Camp is less than a month away, and you know who really can’t wait to see you on the mountain? That’s right, it’s our dear friend Hannah Hart, lovable comedian and YouTube sensation most famous for her endearing mildly intoxicated antics on My Drunk Kitchen. I heard a rumor that some of you guys kind of love Hannah, and that makes total sense. What the heck is not to love?! The good news is, she loves you too. In fact, she loves you so much, she is giving away a CAMPERSHIP to one lucky Straddler. And just for extra good measure… she’s throwing in airfare too. (Or gas-fare or train-fare or bus-fare, depending on where you live!) Once you’re done screaming with giddy excitement, read on to learn more!
Thumbs up for A-Camp
Like us, Hannah strongly believes in giving back to your community, so she wants to bring someone to A-Camp who can take all the meaningful things we learn on the mountain back to their own community once camp is over. Because that’s the point, right? Spreading queer love and acceptance throughout the land until we bring about the revolution. I’m into it, and I know you are too. In Hannah’s own words, here’s what’s up:
“One of the things I admire most about A-Camp is the ability to bring the benefits of the experience back home. How do you think going to camp will impact your life and the lives of those around you upon your return?”
Well Straddlers, what say you? In order to apply for this very special Hannah Hart Campership, please write a short paragraph answering Hannah’s question (super short – 2-5 sentences, max!) and send it to robinroemerphotography [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line Hannah Hart Campership. You have until Friday, September 20th to apply. Hannah will handpick a winner over the weekend and will get in touch the week of Monday, September 23rd to discuss booking your travel, and we’ll be in touch to discuss registering for camp. Please only apply for this opportunity if you aren’t already signed up for camp, but can absolutely come to camp should you be chosen.

Now get thinking and writing and applying! Hannah is super excited to read your submissions, and we’re thrilled that she has generously donated this campership. The more community-minded queers on the mountain, the better. See you in t-30 days, A-Campers!
OMG, Hanna Hart is such a sweetheart! <3
Hannah* typing too fast, so excited rofl!
This one time I bought a girlfriend a “my drunk kitchen” apron as part of a Christmas gift. Then she broke up with me. Wouldn’t it be just hilarious if Hannah Hart bought me A-Camp?
i am really appreciating the current theme of “emily shares pieces of her love life, past & present” that is happening in the comments recently. please keep it up <3
Yay! I <3 Hannah this is so exciting I hope I win :)
All the wins, Hannah Hart, just, all the wins.
Would someone who lives as expensively far away as, say, New Zealand be all good to enter?
yes, this opportunity is open to everyone in the whole wide world.
hannah hart, you are a good dude.
this is fantastic
God, I love Hannah <3 Wish I could go but alas, I'm only 15.
this is amazing. i want to hug Hannah so hard for doing this for someone
!!!!!
Hannah is just always doing wonderful things that make us all fall in love with her.
Hannah is so incredibly wonderful! I’ve got my fingers crossed!!
omg im wounded!!!! I want so badly to apply for this but I will be in nursing school :(
Also the fact that I don’t get to meet the gorgeous Hannah Hart! I’m Hartbroken!
There once was a queermo named Hannah,
At A-Camp she signed my bandanna,
She’ll send you to camp,
So do be a champ,
And sign up as soon as you can-ah.
*bows*
this is a beautiful poem
This is amazing!! Hannah has a big Harto.
(Also, I think the timestamp of the photo is incorrect. Shouldn’t it be April 2012?)
Ahh!! Absolutely I will be entering for this!
However, I have an exam on the 10th which is apparently non-negotiable. What would happen if I couldn’t come till Thursday night? Of course, this is all only relevant if I win, but I’m just so excited!
Aww Harto is the best. Will be entering this for sure. Someone at work asked me why I was working 3 jobs and in my exhausted state I told her I was saving to go to gay camp. Now everyone thinks I’m weird. I really need to meet some of you incredible humans one day!
This is magical and wonderful. I’m excited for whichever one of you awesome queermos wins this and gets to enjoy the magic of camp. And if you’re even luckier Hansen will be your counselor and will make sure you are always fully hydrated and also have a wonderful outlet for your inevitable feels.
Super awesome!
Is this meant for first-time campers, or open to anyone?
anyone <3
sent in my entry. OMG. that was the most nervewracking thing i’ve ever done.
Thanks Hannah, you’ve got the biggest hart :)
Here’s a painting I did of me **hopefully** going to A-Camp!!

halp! we can still register for A-camp, right? even though it is past the official deadline? I can’t entirely afford it, but I think I am on the verge of signing up anyway cause I need to, yo! (I will cry later when I get my credit card bill, but totally worth it, right?)
I’M SORRY I AM ONLY SEEING THIS NOW
YES YOU CAN TOTALLY STILL SIGN UP
IT IS WORTH IT, I PROMISE
PLEASE COME TO A-CAMP <3
Are we eligible if we turn in our question today, as long as it’s before midnight PST? I hope so! I’ve never been, but I’m dying to go. My friends Dena Lightning Rod and her partner Diana have been many times and I am so jealous of how fabulous it sounds! I love you Autostraddle!
Thank you so much for the opportunity and I hope the Autostraddle community gets to see the winning answer? It would be lovely to have an Autostraddle piece after the contest about various answers to this question. Possibly a few interviews about their answers with various contestants in more detail? It will help our community continue to grow and bring us closer together, despite not having the benefit of A-Camp, it will still provide a small, but very important part of it :)
Has the winner for this been picked/notified?
When do we find out who got picked?
It looks like I missed the opportunity to travel this year. :(
