SPECIAL EVENTS

You can watch the spectacle or be the center of attention! Dark Odyssey’s special events are a treat to behold. Below are a bunch of Parties, Socials, Rituals and more for your entertainment … and these are just the ones produced by Dark Odyssey… check out the ION listings to see a whole host of camper-created festivities. Remember, what you get out of camp is directly related to what you put into it. Engage, participate, perform!

Applying Power-Up…

We’re in the middle of a full system upgrade—boosting graphics, unlocking new levels, and adding bonus content. Hang tight while Fusion: Arcade finishes loading.

Behind the scenes, we’re building out a full lineup of high-energy parties, interactive mixers, playful contests, and immersive games—each designed to bring people together, spark connection, and keep the action going day and night. From casual co-op encounters to full-on bonus rounds, there will be plenty of ways to jump in, level up, and play your way.

Check back soon—the next level is almost ready.
 

Fire Jams

Get your blood pumping and warm your skin with flames. Join our fire community for a Fire Jam, an informal affair where you can watch demonstrations of various fire tools and techniques, and if you are adventurous you can get a chance to try them out. Got your own fire spinning/dancing tools with you? Bring them along and burn baby burn.

Ions

An Ion is an attractive little event conceived of, organized and run by campers. They happen all the time … From play dates to “Real Life Angry Birds”. We know some of these things take a lot of effort, both in time and supplies. Therefore, for those of you interested in creating some fun events that are open for everyone to participate in, we want to help! ION organizers receive chore credit and a dedicated ION program is printed and included in every attendee packet. If you’re registered for the event, fill out the Ion Application Form.

Meet and Greets, Bedtime Stories, and more!

Throughout the weekend we will have many special events designed to help you break the ice and meet others and everyone is invited to attend them all. We want you to feel comfortable participating at whatever level you desire. You can watch respectfully or be the center of attention, ask to join in or hang back. The most important thing is to be polite and remember that no means no. Dark Odyssey is proud to have over 60 participating groups attending Winter Fire. Over the years, we helped members of these groups host their own private parties, mixers, and even a wedding. Contact info@darkodyssey.com if your group needs some space for your own special gathering.

All Weekend Long:

IONS
IONs are conceived and run by your fellow campers at Dark Odyssey. Check out the separate ION program and schedule to see this year’s incredible line-up of fun and creative IONs happening virtually everywhere in camp all weekend long.

KIDNAPPING That’s right, campers…evil lurks in the shadows of Fusion. J.R. has a team of devious and delightful tormentors who are lying in wait, ready to attack. Be afraid! Should you witness someone being abducted, don’t worry – it’s just our fantasy kidnapping committee hard at work. If you feel hands around your throat and a hood being pulled over your head, there is no need for concern, you are about to experience the thrill of a lifetime (Unless, of course, you didn’t fill out a kidnapping form. Then we suggest you use the camp safeword, “Red!”).

Pamporium
The Pamporium takes over SOR on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings and offers spa-like services to give campers a place to rest, relax, and get refreshed during the weekend. Pamporium patrons simply make an appointment for one of our wide variety of pampering options such as Foot and Hand Massage, Facials, Henna Tattoos, Body Painting, and FINALLY, Professional Full Body Massage by licensed massage therapist (rates vary for 30/60 minute sessions). With the exception of professional massage, it’s all included FREE in your registration fee. Come to HQ (under the dining hall, by the pool) to book an appointment for one or more of these amazing services; registration will be open at 7:30pm Wednesday and Thursday night… so BE THERE, as the best services/spots often fill up quickly. The remainder of available slots can be booked with the receptionist on duty during Pamporium open hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. See you there!

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Speed Dating
What better way to fling yourself into camp than an exciting set of meetings with new people that puts you face to face with cool people in a structured environment? In our 98.6% awkwardness-free environment, you won’t have to worry about how to start a conversation! We’ll use our quick algorithmic questionnaire to sort you based on what you’d like to find, and provide prompts to make sure your micro dates go smoothly, and keep things moving! We want to give you the best chance of making the playdate of your dreams! A low risk way to meet new people without anxiety as Rebecca Doll guides you through the rounds. Dating is open to all genders and orientations!

DO Happy Hour
Break the ice on opening night by mixing, mingling, drinking and dancing at our poolside lounge. Come meet the other early arrivals and spend the night catching up with old friends, chatting up new ones, and scheming up some diabolical shenanigans to get into at camp!

Queer Mixer
Welcome to the Queer Social. We’re here to create a welcoming space for queer-identified folx to meet up and hang out with their fellow queers. This event is a great, low-key way to connect with others in the queer community and we hope you’ll join us. We promise, you’re queer enough.

Queer Orgy
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.
