I hope it’s something people can look forward to. In March, they created an Eventbrite page, a Facebook page and an Instagram account to help get the word out. Rampa reconnected with Camp O’Bannon, asked about renting the camp from her youth, and they moved forward with a plan. So earlier this year, Rampa and Chiseck put their dreams and ideas into action and started planning for the camp. “These are camps where overweight kids would be sent because their parents were like ‘you’re fat,’ so go to this fat camp to get thin, but they never would,” said Rampa. The duo was also inspired by one of Aubrey Gordon’s “Maintenance Phase” podcasts on “fat camps,” starting from the 1950s to today.
There’s a TV show called ‘Shrill’ that stars Aidy Bryant and there’s this episode where she goes to a fat babe swim party, where it’s all fat women, living their best lives, enjoying the pool, and I was like we could take that experience and stretch it out over a couple of days and what a wonderful thing to bring to the world during this time, so that’s what we decided to do,” Rampa said. We said, let’s create a summer camp where fat women can come and feel good in their skin.
“It was amazing that we both had the same idea at the same time. All meals and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided, snacks are unlimited and BYOB is encouraged Participants will stay in retro rustic cabins, attend pool parties, dance parties, bon fires, yoga, hiking, and use a giant slip and slide as well as participate in break-out sessions on fat liberation, fashion, media representation and self-care, to name a few. “I had an amazing experience it was so much fun, and just the thought that there are probably kids out there, and adults out there now, who never had an experience like that because they didn’t feel comfortable in a swimsuit, or they didn’t feel comfortable wearing shorts and running around outside,” Rampa said. Like, what if we did a pro-fat camp, or a positive camp where people could go and feel good about themselves and get a summer camp experience,” said Rampa, who served as a summer camp counselor at Camp O’Bannon during her college years. I was up late nights, and I would dream about this idea of a body-positive camp. They were also both inspired to start their own summer camp to promote body positivity. Rampa said they got married around the same time and they both joined Weight Watchers at the same time. They have been friends since the seventh or eighth grade. Rampa and Chiseck ate lunch together every day in middle school.
“It’s not just plus-sized women, or fat women, or even just women, it’s all people, because we’re such a ‘diet’ culture that says you have to eat certain things, or look a certain way, and it’s our duty in society to be this ideal, this beauty standard, and it affects us all.
I follow Instagram models that are plus sized who are beautiful, and I can look at them and go, ‘Yeah, that’s what my body looks like,’” Rampa said. I find now, it’s so much easier than when I was growing up to find people I can relate to. “I feel bad that I lost so much time worrying about taking up space, and worrying about being larger than other people, and now I’m embracing it.
