If you’ve never been to “Camp” before, please read on…
Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat is the event that started it all … way back in 1998. With a firm belief that BDSM events should be more than just “tie me up and flog me” weekends, we broke through the BDSM vs. Sex barrier and not only allowed sexual activities at the event, we actually encouraged them. We opened our arms to the queer community, the swingers, the spiritualists and more. The result … an event that gives people from all across the alternative lifestyle community an experience that many describe as transformative if not simply the best vacation of the year.
LR is held on a 200 acre retreat facility in Northern Maryland. The place started life as a kids’ summer camp but now hosts adult events, nudists, music festivals, and even the occasional band camp. Unlike big hotel events, here we can do just about anything (legal) we want (that’s safe, sane and consensual, of course). At camp, we have freedom and privacy. We give up cushy hotel rooms in exchange for being able to really live out our fantasies, unencumbered for six straight days!
Leather Retreat is an all inclusive vacation. We feed you three meals a day plus a midnight snack. You’ll stay with a bunch of your friends (or make new ones) in one of our 40 cabins, each with real beds, full bathrooms and electricity for all your toys. The big gym is converted into our main dungeon, the barn and pavilion into smaller themed play spaces. There is Sex-O-Rama, the Pamporium, the fire pit and a great pool located right in the center of camp. We even run a fleet of golf cart taxis to ferry you from dungeon to dining hall.
During the day you can do anything you like. Lounge by the pool, get a massage, maybe be a kidnapper or kidnappee. For the educationally minded we specialize in offering hands-on workshops from some of the best nationally known presenters including:
* Claire Adams * Princess Kali * Sir C * Lochai * Lee Harrington * British Lucky Paul * Daniel DV8 * Sacred Mark Sanctuary * Lolita Wolf * Klawdya Rothschild * Darian/Ilre and Rhiannon * Janice Stine * Laine * Nayland * and Sarah Sloane
When the sun sets the party really begins. There are mixers, auctions and parties. There’s a different special event each night like the Extrematorium, an exploratorium for edge players. Sex-O-Rama and the Dungeons fill up with every imaginable scene and a whole bunch you haven’t thought of, yet. The place is a buzz till the wee hours of the morning. Who needs sleep, you’re at camp!
Check out the website at http://www.darkodyssey.com. There are a bunch of pictures taken during previous events to help give you a feel of what it’s all about. Of course there is plenty of information about our presenters, special events, pricing and participating group discounts. Early registration rates are available through April 26th.
We’ll see you at Camp!
