Dark Odyssey: Summer Camp
Northern Maryland
September 14-19, 2011
http://www.darkodyssey.com

Imagine a vacation that brings together sexuality, spirituality, education, and play in a fun, diverse environment where fantasy becomes reality.

Dark Odyssey: Summer Camp 2011, a journey of sexual exploration for the spiritual and creative sex-positive communities returns for its eighth year. It will be held at a secluded, two hundred acre retreat in Northern Maryland. Our mission is to cross-pollinate ideas and concepts between groups of individuals who desire to explore different areas of alternative sexuality.

The event, from September 14-19, 2011 will feature dynamic workshops taught by top-notch sex educators, relationship experts, SM masters, and spiritual teachers from around the world, including:

Arli * Annie Earl * Artemis Hunter *Bear * Dylan Ryan * Ignacio Rivera * Lee Harrington
Lolita Wolf * The Marine * MojoDaddy * Mollena Williams *Princess Kali * Sam Martin
* Sinclair Sexsmith * * Sir C * TTT * Wintersong Tashlin

In addition to workshops, Dark Odyssey features creative social activities, nightly special events, erotic rituals, lakeside bonfires, the Sex-O-Rama playspace, and a 10,000 square foot fully equipped dungeon open for play around the clock.

All this happens in a fun camp environment at a retreat with great accommodations: forty cabins with real beds, full bathrooms, hot water showers, electricity and great centrally located swimming pool; plus, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack included.

Unlike a typical conference event, where you have to pay for registration fees, hotel room costs, plus meals, Dark Odyssey is an all-inclusive event. Weekend rates range from $350 to $425 depending on when you register, and if you are a member of a participating group. Early registration rates are good through August 1st. Remember that Summer Camp SOLD OUT last year in record time, so sign up today!

Dozens of community organizations have signed on as participating groups in Dark Odyssey, and we add new groups every day. Check the website to see if your group is one of them, and you’ll be entitled to a registration discount. If your group would like to be added to this list, please contact greg@darkodyssey.com

D.C. Council approves same-sex marriage bill – The analysis, created in the weeks leading up to Tuesday's historic council vote, estimates that 2,000 gay couples who live in the District will marry shortly after the law takes effect. But the bulk of the weddings, which could pump millions of dollars into the regional economy, would probably be out-of-state couples unable to marry in their own states, according to the analysis, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. It concludes that at least $5 million, and perhaps as much as $22 million, would be generated by same-sex weddings in the District over the next three years.

Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat 2009
June 24-29, 2009
Northern Maryland

(Blog readers are entitled to a discount – select the blog name as a participating group, and enter in any number)

Odyssey Events is pleased to announce that registration for Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat is now open.

For those of you who have never been to “camp” … please read on …

We hold Leather Retreat on a 200 acre retreat facility in Northern Maryland. It really is a summer vacation … an all inclusive, Sex-Positive, BDSM vacation. We feed you three meals a day plus a midnight snack. Â 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 yourÂ “marital aids”. The big gym is converted into our main dungeon, the barn and pavilion into smaller themed play spaces. Â Hang out at Sex-O-Rama, Lucky’s Champagne Room, the Pamporium, or lounge around in our great pool that’s located right in the center of camp.

This year’s educational team includes Fifth Angel, Lee Harrington, Lochai of Kink.com, Janice Stine, Jim & Jerith, Min’s Pony, Cunning Minx, Lolita Wolf, Nayland Blake, Sarah Sloane, and several more are about to be confirmed. In addition to our returning favorite events like Caligula’s Slave Auction, Fantasy Kidnappings, and the State Fair, DO: Leather Retreat will be the site of a remote location shoot for Kink.com’s Hogtied and attendees may apply to audition for the Casting Couch, a filmed screen test that might land you in a Kink.com shoot back in San Francisco.

Unlike a big hotel event, the owners of our camp allow us to do just about anything we want, (that’s legal and safe, sane and consensual of course).Â The staff has been around this stuff for years so no one will be shocked or appalled by your scene. Â At camp we have freedom and privacy. Â We give up a cushy hotel room in exchange for being able to really live out our fantasies, unencumbered for six straight days!

About 70% of people return each year to DO: Leather Retreat. Â But if you’re new, don’t worry, everyone loves “fresh meat”. Â We welcome couples and singles alike and have lots of activities to help you break the ice. Â On your second day you’ll fall into the routine and by the 3rd you’ll be helping (and checking out) the new arrivals. Â By the end of the week,
you’ll have made a ton of new friends and will be planning that big scene you want to do at Summer Camp.

We hope you’ll consider joining us this summer for Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat, June 24-29, 2009!
