WHO WE ARE
Camp Chloe is a community of 25–30 residents living along the Delaware River in South Philly. A broad coalition of advocates has successfully defended the encampment and continues to mobilize the South Philly community in solidarity with residents. Camp Chloe is a chosen family and residents share food, resources, protection, and comfort with one another, and describe healing and transformative change within these relationships.
