Provincetown Families
Provincetown - a paradise of our own creation for families of our choosing. A historic New England town on beautiful Cape Cod,
Provincetown is where you can enjoy the comfort and ease that comes from having your family surrounded and supported
by our community and feel the ease of being the majority!
Created so deliberately and rooted in love, here our relationships with our partners and
our children are a celebration. Provincetown provides the perfect backdrop to take
that celebration into the streets and onto the beaches, all the while surrounded by spectacular beaches,
natural beauty, good food, and friends old and new.
There are a hundred fun-filled activities to choose from. You can rent a bike or a boat. Hike to a favorite picnic spot. Meet families staying across
the street and living across the country. Make friends that return year after year.
Whether single parenting or creating your own special blend, you and your children
will always find others with whom to share.
Provincetown - it's not only a place to come to, it's a place to come back to and a
experience you and your children will never forget.

Provincetown
For more information contact Family Pride Coalition
The Family Pride Coalition Invites You and Your Family to Family Week -- a week filled with opportunities to celebrate your family and make connections with other families just like (or just as different as) yours! Now in its eighth year, Family Week in Provincetown brings together lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) parents and their children from all over the country. It is an idyllic opportunity for our children to meet other children with LGBT parents, and for parents to meet other parents and share experiences. It is a week jam-packed with fun family activities, including beach picnics, family dances, kite flying, sandcastle building, campfires, workshops and much, much more! (Please see last year's schedule for a sample of large array of family activities and programming appropriate and fun for every age!) Register on line!
