Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Queer Body Image Bootcamp for?

Where is Queer Body Image Bootcamp being held?
The bootcamp will take place at the Parlor Hotel in Princeton, WI, a queer-owned boutique hotel about an hour and 10 minutes north east of Madison, WI!
What does it cost to attend the Queer Body Image Bootcamp weekend retreat?
Queer Body Image Bootcamp is $2297 per person (or $1897 per person if you’re signing up with a friend and comfortable sharing a room), which can be split into multiple payments (the number of payments available depends on when you sign up and how many months away the event is from your signup date).
Do you offer pre-payment plans?
Yes! I offer flexible pre-payment plans!
Do you offer a scholarship?
I was able to offer one scholarship seat for Queer Body Image Bootcamp, but that spot has been filled. If you’d like to be added to a cancellation list for the scholarship seat, please click here and complete the application!
Are there any ADA-compliant or wheelchair accessible rooms?
Yes! There are 2 rooms on the 1st floor of the hotel that are ADA-compliant and wheelchair accessible, and all learning and group hang out time will be on the first floor of the hotel, which is wheelchair accessible. These rooms are available on a first come, first served basis.
What is included in the purchase of a seat at Queer Body Image Bootcamp?
First and foremost, body image education! You’ll have a front row seat (literally) to body image education, as well as impactful group discussions and exercises to help you begin to untangle and rebuild your body image into something that serves you better!

What should I pack?
While I’ll send a more comprehensive list to attendees before the bootcamp, I’d recommend packing predominantly comfy clothes (I’ll probably be in leggings most of the weekend) as well as an outfit you’d like to be photographed in for our one on one empowerment session and at least one outfit that you love but can never bring yourself to wear!
Can I share a room with a partner or friend?
Yes! For folks who want to share a room with a queer friend or partner, take $400 off each! Email me at sam@reverenceintimateportraits.com for details!
Anything else I should know?
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that Body Image Bootcamp and the work we will do here is no substitute for therapy or counseling. While we may touch on topics such as anti-fat bias, anti-trans bias, racism, ableism, and gender dysmorphia, myself and any co-facilitators are not trained therapists, and our work and discussions are not a replacement for working with a mental health professional if you’re struggling. Think of Body Image Bootcamp as an amazing tool in your toolkit to fight back against bad body image thoughts, but not the only tool in your toolkit!
