FAQs:

  • Beautiful, curious, open-minded souls come out to play.

    A full spectrum variety: New folks who have never attended any camps, workshops or retreats. Individuals and couples who are keen on delving deep and getting fresh perspectives. Experienced campers who have been attending for years. Inspired souls who want to experience what it's like to thrive and be themselves within a sex positive community.

  • Connection! Connection! Connection!

    The core of the Camp experience is relating! Each morning we come together as a community. We practice conscious connection with others through movement, communication, intellectual stimulation, and of course light-hearted laughter and play!

    We join in daily Zegg Forum where the goal is to reveal what is alive but not known to all. The community sits in a circle, forming a stage for one person at a time to stand and show what is true for them. Facilitators may assist the person to reveal themselves more deeply. Afterward, community members may offer reflections.

    In addition to Forum we have presentation/workshops, dances, a talent show, an auction and access to Aphrodite’s Temple sensual space.

    Camp is also about choice. You may choose to attend all the workshops, share in Forum, or go to the temple, and you may also choose instead to spend time lounging and connecting with others. It's a great place to meet new friends and grow connections. Your experience is yours to craft.

You'll likely appreciate some warm clothes for the typically cool mornings and nights. Think layers.

    Earplugs: People snore and can be close by, so you may want these.

    Sun protection: A hat or scarf for your face and shoulders. Sunglasses for the bright afternoons. If you wear sunscreen, please make sure it’s fragrance free.

Wellness Policy

To protect others with compromised immune systems, we need everyone to:

  • Keep your immune system healthy before camp!

  • Avoid large indoor gatherings (over 10 people) for three full days (72 hours) before leaving for camp.

    • We don’t expect anyone to take time off of work to meet this requirement.

    • If you attend a contained group event that is at least three days long prior to camp and no-one is symptomatic at the conclusion of the event, you will still meet this requirement.

  • Please take a rapid covid test yourself the morning you leave for camp. If using public transportation (e.g., bus, train, or airplane), please wear a N95 mask.

  • Please bring extra tests if possible in case you start to feel sick at camp.

  • If getting a test is a hardship for you, we will have some available at camp.

  • If you are experiencing or had a recent known exposure to anything potentially contagious, please opt-out. We will refund 100 percent for cancellations due to contagions, minus a $50 service charge.

Note: If you are departing earlier than your arrival day, you may want to test before departure to avoid any surprises when testing the morning of camp. This is especially important if carpooling. If you end up in a car with someone who tests positive, you may need to opt out of camp due to contagious exposure. 

Refunds due to contagious illness:

If you choose to leave camp due to developing symptoms of a contagious illness, registration fees will be refunded based on the number of days missed. If anyone has to cancel in the days before camp because of a positive test, their full registration will be refunded minus a $50 service charge.

(Please also see our sickness contingency plan in the hopefully not-needed case that someone gets sick during camp.)
