AFTERNOON TEA hosted by Sarah and Mike

All skill levels are welcome and skill-sharing tends to happen naturally, so feel free to show up with questions as well as yarn.
COMMUNITY HOOK PULL hosted by Whittney
Magik is a community experience. Ordeal magik even more so. As BDSM teaches, it is safer to confront a challenge with someone to guide, drive, and support the experience. This year, as a community experience, we are holding a group hook pull. Hook pulls are an ancient spiritual practice that has survived into the modern age. It is a powerful way to experience ritual body modification and the altered state of consciousness associated with intense spiritual experiences. Participants will be pierced with one or two hooks, then have the chance to play tug-o-war with their ritual partner surrounded by a community of others doing the same. Hooks can be placed just about anywhere on the body. Our in-house suspension team will guide the process and provide support as needed. For those not ready to be hooked and who are interested in helping with the ritual, drummers are needed to help create the sonic container for this experience (we have drums that you can use). Please see Whittney, our suspension team lead, to register for this amazing community experience. There is a fee for this service to cover the cost of equipment and disposables used to create your experience. All participants get to keep their hooks after the dance.
DRUMMING IN THE DUNGEON hosted by Whittney
A primal beat connects us all. The rhythm of our hearts beat as one when we dance and explore the sacred space of our kink and play. Come to the dungeon and share in the Camp Crucible tradition of drumming in the dungeon. Bring your drum, rattle, or favorite instrument, or use the community drums and rattles to help create the sonic container for the magik of the night. Want to be inspired to play in a more connected and deeper way? Bring your playmates to the dungeon to play, dance, and create together in the magik of our primal beat.
EXPLORATORIUM hosted by Camp Crucible Staff
So yeah, you decided to jump right into the deep end of the kink pool by coming to Camp Crucible. Or you’ve been coming to Camp for years but have never tried that! Well come on over to the dungeon so you can try that at our Exploratorium. We’ll have fire play, flogging, knives, puppies, rope (of course), sensation, spanking, violet wands, wax, and whips demoed by some of our most experienced Campers and Camp Staff. Whether you are relatively new to the scene or super experienced, there’s always something new to try at the Exploratorium.

To schedule your experience, find Whittney anytime he’s not playing and make your flight plans.
