Forget stuffy classrooms and boring lectures. This summer, the only school you’ll want to attend is in session from July 31 to August 3 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Studio 58 Events is bringing back its wildly popular adults-only hotel takeover, Naughty Knowledge, for a masterclass in fun, fantasy, and frisky education.
School’s In, and It’s Never Been Hotter
Imagine a school where the curriculum is designed entirely around pleasure, connection, and exploration. That’s the promise of Naughty Knowledge, which transforms an entire hotel into a playground for curious adults. The mission? To provide a space for what an event representative calls a weekend of “kinky education galore, skill sharing, playing, and plenty of partying.”
This isn’t just about the wild side, though. At its core, the event is built on a foundation of safety and enthusiastic consent. The organizers at Studio 58 Events, known for creating judgment-free zones, emphasize a welcoming atmosphere for everyone, from seasoned pros to the merely curious.
“Naughty Knowledge is for newcomers, swinks, swingers, kink pros and those vanillas who may only be kinky in the bedroom but want to know more,” the representative added.
This approach taps into a major trend in the adult community: a growing desire for structured, educational environments where people can explore their desires safely. The era of intimidating, underground clubs is giving way to professionally organized conventions and takeovers that prioritize inclusivity and learning.
Meet the “Faculty”
The lineup of presenters—or “teachers”—is a who’s who of respected educators and creators from across the lifestyle community. With over 30 experts signed on, the course catalog is packed.
Classes range from the fundamentals of bondage and impact play to more advanced and edgy subjects like fire, knife, and electro play. Crucially, seminars are also dedicated to the most important topics of all: consent, safety, and what to do if accidents happen.
The “faculty” includes:
- Quiet Caramel, who brings over 25 years of public safety experience to the table, teaching a vital first aid class for kinksters and hosting a relaxed cigar social.
- Princess Rara of the popular “Pink Kink Podcast.” A vocal advocate for safe play, she’ll be teaching classes like “Knifeplay Experience 201,” “Spanking From Sensual to Sadistic,” and “Fire Play 101.” Her work often centers on empowering individuals through knowledge, demystifying complex topics for her listeners and students.
- Mistress Schari and her submissive Catnip from “Mischief Matters Radio.” This dynamic duo will delve into the psychology of desire with “Fellatio Fundamentals, Mental DSM Is Not BS,” and “Switches and Unicorns: They Do Exist.”
Don’t Forget the “Extracurriculars”!
It’s not all work and no play. Naughty Knowledge is famous for its vibrant social scene. The school theme extends to all the fun, with a “home school” meet-and-greet, a scavenger hunt, human bingo, and of course, the big “Homecumming” dance.
If you need a break from the dance floor, you can test your flexibility with Naked Twister, belt out some tunes at kinky karaoke, or even relive your gym class glory days with a round of dodgeball. For those who love to shop, an outdoor courtyard will feature a kinky marketplace, including The Dungeon Store, offering everything you need to practice your new skills.
From the classroom to the courtyard, Naughty Knowledge is designed to be a comprehensive and thrilling experience. It’s a clear reflection of a community that is increasingly open, educated, and eager to connect.
As Mistress Schari and Catnip might say, this is where you learn that when it comes to kink, “they do exist.”
This 18-and-over event welcomes volunteers. For the full schedule, registration, and hotel information, prospective “students” can head over to the Studio 58 Events website.
