Registration Opens on Thursday, May 1st! 

Howdy, y'all!! OUTVIVOR: Hoedown Showdown is inspired by the reality tv show, Survivor, but with the hootin' and hollerin' of a good ole fashion western adventure. We will be returning to Camp Geneva, located in Fruitland Park, FL - one hour away from Downtown Orlando and an hour from Tampa. OUTVIVOR is a fun "glamping" getaway in the woods and an organized, action-packed, fun-filled competition! OUTVIVOR is designed to test your competitive drive, social skills and strategic-thinking ability all while meeting other members of the Central Florida LGBTQ+ community. 

Do you have what it takes to OUTGAY, OUTSLAY and OUTSPORT? Battling through challenges, backstabbing, and against the elements we will see who has what it takes to be named OUT Sports League’s 4th OUTVIVOR. The winner will not only be granted bragging rights, but will win a prize package which will include 1 FREE OUT SPORTS LEAGUE REGISTRATION for an upcoming season.

NEW SEASON, NEW FORMAT

  • During the Tribal phase of the game, there will be no eliminations.  
    
• In the second phase of the game ("Individual phase"), contestants will compete as individuals in a high-paced, cut-throat fight to the end to see who can claim the crown and the title of Sole OUTVIVOR! 

FAQs

• How will the gameplay work?
  
  • We will reveal additional details as we approach the event.  The game format draws on inspiration from a variety of competition programs.  The main source of inspiration is Survivor, but significant elements of this season have been inspired by The Challenge and other game shows.  
• Will there be any down time?
  • There will be moments of down time, but the weekend will be action-packed. So come prepared to play! If you do not move on to the 2nd phase of the game, you will have some additional time sunday afternoon/evening to observe the game and enjoy the amenities of camp. Plus, you will have the responsibility of being a jury member and casting your vote for the person that you believe should take home the title of Sole OUTVIVOR!
