A: Summer Camp is located just above Baltimore in Northern Maryland right off of I-95. It’s 2 hours north of DC and 4 hours south of New York City. After you register, you will receive an email with all travel options, directions, things to bring, etc. If you are flying to Summer Camp, the closest airport is BWI in Maryland.

A: The food on the Meal Plan is really quite good. All meals will be served in the dining hall along with iced tea, juices, teas and coffee. This is an adult camp with adult cuisine… there will be no pizza squares or PB&J. There is a new chef and kitchen manager at the camp and they are dedicated to providing great food. Camp now proudly serves a standard entree alongside Vegan and Gluten Free options. If you have a food allergy please speak with the kitchen manager or chef and they will do their best to make a dish that works for you. You won’t go hungry. A full salad bar is also available at each meal. Your first meal is dinner on the day of your arrival. We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner each day afterwards. Brunch will be the only meal served on Monday.

A: The Infusion Cafe is open all weekend long and serves up gourmet sandwiches, salads, espresso drinks and more. Located next to the pool, its a great space to hang out and share a coffee with friends. The Cafe is run entirely by your fellow campers and you can sign up to do your chores there next to our amazing and very dedicated volunteers that make sure everyone can get something good to eat camp! Please make sure to check it out!

A:  Unfortunately, our original camp wide official midnight snack is a vestige of a bygone era. As camp grew from 400 people to over 1000 the strain on our resources proved too great. But don’t fret … The spirit of midnight snack lives on as groups all over camp now invite you to join them for S’mores, tacos, or cheesecake and a chat!

A: All cabins have twin sized TempurPedic Mattresses and new metal bed frames with space to store your suitcase underneath.   Couples like to push two beds together and use a king sized sheet to create one large bed (try flannel sheets; even in summer the nights can get chilly).  You no longer need to put an air mattress across the beds … the new beds are really comfortable.  You do need to bring your own linens and blankets, or you can rent them from us for an additional $70.

A: Most people set up along the tree lines around camp. There are several nice fields where you can build your own small city. You will have unlimited access to the three large public bath houses at camp. There are also bathrooms located next to the pool. Of course, if you make friends with one of the cabin groups you may ask to use their bathrooms, but don’t assume that because you pitched a tent next to a cabin you can use their facilities. Please respect people’s privacy.

A: Sure but there is a $325 charge per RV and we have room for the first 15 to sign up. Here is the bad news … there are no hook-ups available so you will have to be completely self contained. You will be able to use the bathroom and shower facilities so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. When you register there is now an RV Parking option. You only need to select it for primary person registering the RV. Questions? Send and email to registrar@darkodyssey.com.

A: Participating Group discounts are available to members of eligible sex positive and BDSM educational organizations. Visit our Participating Groups page for more information. If your group is not listed, but you think it qualifies, please contact info@darkodyssey.com.

A: You’ll dry off! We have plenty of indoor playspaces. The camp also has many covered areas in which to hold all of our special activities. While we would prefer the sun to shine through the weekend, we still have a great time if it rains. Sorry, but there will be no refunds due to inclement weather.

A: If they’re over 19, sure!

A: We ask that everyone sign up for 4 hours of community service (2 – two hour chores). We have all sorts of jobs so we won’t ask you to do anything that you physically can’t. Examples of chores include: gate duty, working the registration desk, driving a golf cart, dungeon monitoring, replenishing supplies, and decorating for special events. Most people enjoy doing chores because it lets them meet new people. If you prefer, a “resort option” is available that allows you to opt out of chores for $65. Most people do not take this option, but it is available to you.

A: You should stay home. Actually, we now have wireless internet service available in the dining hall. There is a charge for internet access … so if you have to do email or “work” while at camp, you can. But frankly the internet connection kinda sucks and is spotty.

A: Log onto the Community System, and click on Invites, then Cabins. There, you will see public invitations to join cabins posted by other campers as well as any private ones. In order to create a cabin group you need to have your idea/group approved.  Send an email to Greg@darkodyssey.com and let him know what you are planning and how many people you think you will attract.  We will do our best to accommodate you if possible.

A: Then send us an email to info@darkodyssey.com and we will do our best to get you an answer as soon as possible. If you have a burning question that can’t wait for email… or you type really poorly… call Greg at 510-206-0875.

A: Unfortunately, to ensure everyone’s security and comfort, we do not allow attendees to carry photographic equipment. We will have four to five professional photographers attending Summer Camp who will be happy to take your picture. Model releases are mandatory and details are available when you register. Of course you can choose not to be photographed – you’ll receive a special colored wrist band so the photographers know. We take our photographic policy seriously. Please help keep everyone comfortable by not bringing your camera.
