Camp is a young adult fiction novel written by L. C. Rosen and published in 2020 by Little, Brown. The book tells the story of Randall Kapplehoff, a gay teen who goes every year to a queer summer camp and is finally ready to start a relationship with his crush.

Reception[]

Publishers Weekly called the book a "fun, inclusive story that's sex-, romance-, and LGBTQ-positive",^[1] while Kirkus Reviews said "[t]his novel has the appeal of a rom-com movie-makeover but with more substantive explorations".^[2]

Maggie Reagan, who reviewed for The Booklist, noted Rosen's attempt to tackle issues present in the LGBT community, such as internal biases and prejudices, similarly to how he did in his 2018 book, Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts). Reagan ended the review by calling the book "[a]n essential pick for teens figuring out who and how to love."^[3] Camp was featured by The Booklist in its list of the ten best romances for young adults published between September, 2019 and August, 2020.^[4]

Camp was a finalist for the 33rd edition of the Lambda Literary Awards in the Young Adult category.^[5]
