The Weekend—everything you need, all in one place

At the private and picturesque Saratoga Springs Retreat Center, GearUp Weekend is more than just an event—it’s an all-inclusive adventure so you can explore your kink game and have an unforgettable experience. Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • Three chef-prepared meals a day—always bottom friendly, and options for dietary restrictions.

  • Stocked and open bar—Alcohol and thoughtful Non-Alcoholic options to keep you fueled and refreshed throughout the weekend. It’s hot, so there are plenty of water stations throughout the camp.

  • Indoor and outdoor play spaces, stocked with furniture and gear for all kinds of kinky fun.

  • Outdoor pool and hot tub, perfect for unwinding or connecting with other attendees. Rinse off the lube first, please!

  • Daily workshops, discussions, and activities tailored to kinksters of all experience levels. LDG (Leathermen’s Discussion Group) helps produce peer to peer programming, which means they’re vetted as fun and safe. You can participate in as many or few as you like. We recommend our Meat & Greet on the first night, and Saturday night entertainment is always winning.

  • The Runway - a fun competition on Saturday Night where you put together a funny and/or sexy look and strut your stuff. Always optional, always fun!

  • Clothing-optional hikes and yoga to get your heart pumping and stretch out your… body.

  • Shared shower and toilet facilities, indoor and outdoor—with and without stalls!

  • A range of sleeping options, so you can find the setup that suits you best.

  • Multiple clean out stations so you’re ready to go at all times. Bring your own nozzle.

  • Scholarships may be available to help make GearUp accessible to everyone.

  • Not sure what to pack? Our guide for essentials and tips will help you make the most of your weekend.

GearUp Weekend is built to ensure you feel comfortable, connected, and ready to dive into the fun—however that looks for you.
