SPECIAL EVENTS
Whether you watch the spectacle or are the center of attention, Special Events are a Dark Odyssey treat to behold. Spice up your nights (and days!) with parties, socials, rituals and more for you to choose from. Campers can also create their own events (we call them IONs) and advertise them in our online Community System once they register.
Below is just some of the events we are working on. All the events are still “under construction” but we will get them all rolled out before its time for camp!

The Hero’s Journey
Hosted by Thista Minai and Arkane Muse, sing of the Seekers, they who assemble at the gateway to the Temple. There they shall find a psychopomp awaits them, and should they answer her call and follow into the unknown, they will journey through ancient tales of heroes that came before. How will they face the tasks that await them along their way? Together they must find their own path through old mysteries. And so hail to you, Seekers, and now I will remember you and another song also.
Ordeal of Love
Hosted by Lee Harrington
When people think of ordeals, images of walking on hot coals or hanging from flesh hooks might come to mind. But for many people, pushing the limits of the heart can be far more taxing than pushing the limits of the flesh. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the ordeal whether you enter the center or not. One by one, courageous ritualists will take to the center and choose which words of love, acceptance, adoration, and awesomeness that they would like bestowed upon them. You are an amazing being, and by braving the fire of your self-deprecation, you can come out holding the mantle of your own love.
Ritual to Explore & Honor Our Boundaries
Hosted by H.G. Wyndel
Clear, dynamic boundaries support our inner-being and inter-being relationships. They support identifying our most rooted needs, values, and desires. Our boundaries are how we identify where we end and the community begins. This ritual is about feeling and affirming our energetic edges in a sacred space.
DO Community Hook Suspension Days
Facilitated by Eevee
Intrigued by the world of suspensions, a seasoned practitioner seeking like-minded enthusiasts, or just plain curious about what has everyone so “hooked”? No matter your reason, you’re invited to join our vibrant DO community as we indulge in two days of public Hook Suspensions! Feel free to drop in and out as your schedule permits, immersing yourself in a welcoming atmosphere where shared passion and experiences unite. Participants wishing to suspend will be randomly selected and should be of sober mind, well-nourished, and hydrated.

It’s Sexy Time @ Summer Camp
Queer Orgy
Hosted by Aerabelle
Ever wanted to participate in an all-queer orgy? Get turned on by a room full of queer sex? If so, come for a fucking good time! Bring yourself, your toys and your best consent practices to this inclusive orgy, where all queers are welcome, wanted and just the right kind of sexy.
Sex Toy Tasting Party
Hosted by Strap-on Jo Don’t you hate buying an expensive toy, being all excited to get it home so that you can try it out, and then having it totally not work for your anatomy or preferences? Strap-on Jo does! The upside is that she now has a fairly extensive collection of fancy shmancy vibrators, dildos, and anal toys that you can try out (with barriers of course) so you can avoid expensive toy disappointment syndrome! Jo will be your sex toy tasting sommelier, available to help you decide, based on your past experiences and anatomy, which toys you are most likely to enjoy using or having used on you during this party.
Dudes in Distress Orgy
Hosted by Athena Kali Do you want to spend the night at an orgy surrounded by beautiful dudes dancing on stripper poles, boys in tears, bois strung up and smacked around, giggling or flexing their gorgeous bodies? Of course you do! Join us for a sex party and ritual designed to facilitate making new connections, pursuit of sexual liberation, and exaltation of the dudes who submit, the ladies that love them, and the many connections possible in all spaces in between. In this space, Athena Kali will share, teach, demonstrate the ancient sex party ritual of opening circle. This arcane and secret ritual, handed down to us by our foremothers, brings participants into a liminal space of possibility, power, and transformation, giving each guest a chance to express their secret wishes to the group, and by giving voice to their desires, to fulfill them. Be sure to arrive on time. Fifteen minutes after the start of the event, the doors will be closed to new arrivals. Bring toys and rope, bring outlandish costumes, bring your open hearts. Dudes in Distress is an equal opportunity distress space. Your gender identity is respected here. Dudeliness and ladyness are self-identifiers meant to be claimed, fucked with, discarded, and worn like a crown to subvert the patriarchy and delight in the sublime. Sirs who submit, zirs who switch, bois who fuck boys and dudes who love labias, bitches and bros and misses: you’re all welcome here.
Littles Orgy
Hosted by Bambi Galore
Sugar and Spice and everything nice, let’s see what little girls cum. And don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about the little boys and their puppydog tails. The Littles orgy where you can let your little one take control of the perverted steering wheel.
Doomscoming: Yellow Jackets Orgy
Hosted by Carmen Monoxide
You are invited to Doomcoming– a soiree for the senses that is part feast, part game, part hedonistic orgy. This Yellowjackets-themed party will have something for everyone, even if you’ve never seen the show. Imbibe wine and feast on Jackie (charcuterie), don a themed mask, and draw a card, but be careful…draw the one-eyed queen, and you could become the next sacrifice.
Sacred Sluts
Hosted by Thista Minai and Arkane
Do you seek divinity in the spark of affection? Will you honor the service of a Sacred Slut? Come to the Temple for a night of carnal delights, where all acts of love and pleasure are holy rituals. Each Sacred Slut will determine the terms of their own service, and a Temple Guardian will ensure compatible connections. If you wish to participate as a Sacred Slut, arrive at 8pm to meet the Guardians, get to know your fellow Sluts, and learn what ritual structure we have in place to ensure consensual participation for everyone involved. If you seek to receive the ministrations of a Sacred Slut, arrive at 9:30pm, and be ready to tell a Temple Guardian what service you want and why it is valuable to you. No money may be exchanged during this ritual. All genders are welcome to participate as both Sluts and Seekers.

This evening we will be offering hook pulls for anyone interested in experiencing the cathartic release of ritual piercing around our fire, with the support and compassion of our facilitators.

The Sanguine Flame: Primal Warrior Series
Hosted by Primal Arts
At Fusion we began our Primal Warrior Series with the Primal Mind, an exploration of the Element of Brain in our Brain, Blood, Breath, and Bone elemental series. If you missed it, there is no need to worry, you are more than welcome to join at any point along this series, there are opportunities to connect with your primal self at every step. We now invite you to the second ritual along the Primal Warrior Ordeal track as we explore the Primal Element of Blood. In our lore, Blood corresponds to the element of Fire. What stirs your deepest desires, and where do you feel them? As you move around the fire, does your heart beat faster, the beats syncopating with the rhythm of the drum? Do you feel the heat from the fire, the blush in your cheeks, the rush of heat filling your body from within? Or, are you watching from the shadows, your pulse quieting, as you lock in on your quarry? Your veins cool and calm, your muscles tense, your body ready to pounce? Are you as yet, unsure, wishing only to look inward and simply be, existing in the most raw and primordial state, tapping into the sensations of heat and vibration, light and sound? On this night we offer you a selection of ordeals, puzzles, crafts, and opportunities for intention setting, all designed to guide you into an awareness of the essence within you. Participate or hold space as you desire, all are welcome around a Primal Fire. For those interested in the Primal Warrior path, completing four of the stations completes the Gauntlet and you will be heralded as a Primal Warrior. Primal Arts is proud to offer a space and time where some of the oldest and most sacred forms of art and expression are celebrated. Through fire, music, sacred sexuality, kink, and more, we are delighted to present a safe, conscientious community space where all are welcome to share and learn from each other. All are welcome, participate as much or as little as you feel called. All we ask for is respect for each other, respect for the fire circle, and the opportunity for everyone to let their primal selves be free.
