Twisted Tryst

Twisted Tryst is the Midwest's best radically inclusive camping event. Whether you come alone, with a partner, as part of a group, or identify with any sexual orientation, our event welcomes everyone with an adventurous spirit. Tryst is not a home for racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or other hatred—we value mutual respect and personal authenticity.

Held at a private campground 30 minutes outside Athens, OH each summer, we strive for immersion and total acceptance in an arena that allows for the most imaginative of play. Seminars span three educational areas: kink, sexuality, and spirituality, with plenty of time to practice what you've learned in our sheltered play space and acres of outdoor playground. Two themed party nights, camper-led socials, and room to plan your own events round out the weekend.

Registration opens Sunday, February 15, 2026 at 12pm EST. Let your clothes and inhibitions fall away at Twisted Tryst as you connect with like-minded individuals in a safe, supportive environment designed for exploration and community building.
