The summer of 2011 will be the second time this yearly summer camp for women (including past, present and future women) interested in BDSM and fetishism takes place! Wish invites you to an exciting week on the west coast of Sweden, filled with happenings and activities play areas, several workshops and fantastic surroundings to explore. It will also be a perfect opportunity for bikers to get together, of course under the conditions that you understand and respect the BDSM- and fetishist theme.  Also note that the Stockholm Pride week starts a week after the camp and makes this a perfect opportunity to really get the most out of a stay in Sweden!

Date
The camp will take place from Tuesday the 19th of July to Sunday the 24th of July. During the week personnel taking care of the practicalities on the estate will be present but everyone understands and respects the BDSM and fetish focus of the stay. In order to promote a good atmosphere we would prefer if the participants stayed for the whole duration of the camp. This means we will prioritize those who register for the whole period. Registrations for shorter time periods will be most welcome provided that there is room.

Price
The cost of the camp is 2700 SEK (260 €), and that includes both room and board. There will be a possibility to reduce the fee by 250 SEK (25€)/day if you are willing to for example help in the kitchen, do a presentation/ workshop or help with cleaning during a few hours per day. We have a few spots reserved for this purpose and please state clearly upon your registration what you would prefer contributing with.

Place
The camp takes place on the west coast of Sweden, surrounded by beautiful nature and close to the beautiful town of Smögen, as well as Nordens ark, an animal sanctuary for endangered species (http://www.nordensark.se/en/). There is walking distance to a picturesque beach perfect for swimming. Directions to the location will be sent upon confirmed booking and completed payment.

The premises
On the estate there are newly renovated, spacious shower- and bathrooms. There are washing and drying facilities for clothes as well. On the yard there is a bathing tub (hot tub) where you can take a relaxing hot bath in the summer evening, both before and after indulging in different activities. Inside the main building there are two rooms – one big and public with several stations and one smaller and lockable for privacy. Equipped with many kinds of furniture and equipment for s/m and bondage play, such as a gynecologists chair, bondage chair, whipping benches, metal poles, Andreas’ crosses, winches in the ceiling and an old fashioned bed. Since the estate has an enclosed yard, there are also possibilities to play outside – perhaps by a tree? In the basement there is a lockable dungeon with a booking system for especially private encounters. We also have some possibilities to arrange especially themed areas such as a classroom, if you let us know in advance of you preferences and wishes. Further there is a well stocked leather workshop available for those who want to make their own toys or clothes. A leather smith will be at your disposal, and you can either bring your own materials, or buy on site.

Sleeping arrangements
Bedrooms are shared, with four people in each room. There is also a possibility to put your own caravan, trailer or tent in the yard. Depending on the number of participants, there may be a possibility for groups or couples for example, to get their own rooms. Please tell us when you register if you want to be on the list for that option. All the participants must bring their own bed linen and towels. (For those of you who have a luggage limitation please let us know when booking that you will need to rent bed linen and it will be provided for you!) We will also ask you to clean your rooms before departing.

Meals
Meals are included in the fee. Breakfast is served from about 9:00-12:00 am, and there will be a light meal around 3:00 pm. Dinner is served around 6:00 pm. Fruit and snacks will be available throughout the day. We have some possibilities to accommodate the needs of special diets such as allergies etc. Please state your needs clearly upon registration.

Alcohol
There will be a self-service bar at a low cost supplied with non-alcoholic beverages and a limited variety of alcoholic beverages such as beer/wine/cider.

Language
The camp is international, and therefore the official languages will be both English and Swedish.

Disability accessibility
Unfortunately the camp is not well adapted for wheelchair access since it is partly situated in a slope. We do however aim to find ways to participate for everyone! If you have any specific questions regarding accessibility, please do not hesitate to mail us at wishutskick@gmail.com.

Activities
On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday will workshops/presentations/demonstrations/peer-to-peer sharing of knowledge most often take place during the afternoons. The topics will include for example gothic belly dancing, bondage, pole dancing, whipping and “mind control”. All the workshops will be held in English when possible. There will also be massage available! If you have any special skill or knowledge that you would like to share, we welcome suggestions for lectures, workshops, and demonstrations of all kinds! Please write to us at wishutskick@gmail.com.

Further and continually updated information about planned events during the camp will be posted at: http://wishpowerexchange.se/

Internet access
There is a wireless Internet connection at the estate. It may however be very weak occasionally, so please note that we cannot assure a 100 % reliable connection at all times.

Registration and payment information
The last day to register for the camp is the 30th of May. If the camp is fully booked we will arrange a waiting list. You may cancel you booking up until the 3rd of July in case of illness or other serious events. In this case, the fee will be repaid, minus the administrative costs.

Wish PowerExchange – sommarläger på Västkusten den 19-24 juli 2011

Sommaren 2011 arrangeras för andra gången ett läger för BDSM och fetischintresserade kvinnor, alla som är, har varit eller kommer att bli kvinnor!  Wish bjuder in till en spännande, aktivitetsrik vecka på Västkusten med helpension, gott om lekutrymmen, flera workshops och fantastiska omgivningar att utforska. Det är också ett utmärkt tillfälle för MC-intresserade att samlas utifrån att man är införstådd med och respekterar lägrets BDSM- och fetischinriktning. En vecka efter lägret startar Stockholm Pride så det är också ett perfekt sätt att ladda inför Priden!

Datum
Lägret anordnas 2011 under vecka 29, från tisdagen den 19 juli till och med söndagen den 24 juli. Under veckan finns personal som hjälper till med driften av gården och är införstådda med BDSM- och fetischinriktningen. För att främja sammanhållningen ser vi helst att deltagarna är med under hela lägret. Därför prioriteras vid anmälan de som har möjlighet att vara med alla dagar. Övriga är varmt välkomna för den tid man vill och kan komma med, men i mån av plats.

Pris
Lägeravgiften är 2700 kr per deltagare. I detta ingår inkvartering med helpension och tillgång till alla gårdens faciliteter. Det finns möjlighet att reducera avgiften med 250kr/per dag om man kan arbeta deltid under lägret, med exempelvis handräckning i köket, städning eller hålla ett föredrag några timmar om dagen. Det finns ett visst antal platser avdelade för detta och du anger vid anmälan vad du kan tänka dig att göra.

Plats
Vi kommer att vara på en lägergård på Västkusten med närhet till dess vackra natur och pärlor som Smögen och turistmål som Nordens Ark. Gården ligger på gångavstånd från en naturskön badplats. Vägbeskrivning skickas vid bekräftad anmälan och full betalning.

Gemensamma utrymmen
På gården finns nyrenoverade dusch- och toalettutrymmen med gott om plats. Det finns tvättmaskin och torkställning. På gården finns en vedeldad badtunna för avkoppling, kanske både före och efter diverse aktiviteter.  BDSM-salar med möbler för s/m- och bondage, t.ex. gynstol, elektrisk takvinsch, bondagestol, piskbänkar, metallstolpar, Andreaskors och madrasser finns inomhus. Eftersom gården har en omsluten, insynsskyddad innergård finns även möjlighet till aktiviteter utomhus bland annat vid skampåle eller träd! I källaren finns en separat, låsbar dungeon med bokningssystem för mer privat samvaro. Utifrån önskemål på förhand har vi i viss mån möjlighet att arrangera specialutrymmen som t ex Klinik eller Skola. Det finns även en välutrustad läderverkstad med erfaren instruktör att tillgå, för de som vill tillverka egna leksaker eller kläder. Man kan i viss mån köpa material på plats eller ha med sig eget.

Boende
Boendet är till största delen av vandrarhemskaraktär i fyrbäddsrum. Det finns möjlighet att ställa upp husvagn/husbil på gården för de som vill. Beroende på deltagarantal kan det finnas möjlighet till egna rum för exempelvis par/grupper/triader, ange i så fall denna önskan i din anmälan. Ange även om du/ni vill bo tillsammans om era anmälningar görs separat. Alla deltagare tar med egna sängkläder och handdukar och städar sitt rum innan avfärd.

Måltider
Måltiderna är inkluderade i lägeravgiften. Frukost serveras c:a 09.00-12.00 och fika vid 15.00. Gemensam middag serveras c:a 18.00 varje kväll, då det finns tillfälle att klä upp sig för alla som känner för det. Frukt och snacks kommer att finnas tillgängliga dygnet runt. I viss utsträckning kan vi tillgodose behov av specialdieter vid allergi etc. Ange detta tydligt vid anmälan.

Alkohol
Bar med självservering av alkoholfria drycker samt ett litet utbud av vin/öl/cider till självkostnadspris kommer att finnas på plats.

Språk
Lägret har en internationell inriktning och språket kommer därför att vara både engelska och svenska. Vi hjälps åt med att översätta när det behövs!

Funktionshinder
Lägergården är inte så rullstolsvänlig eftersom den delvis ligger i en sluttande terräng, men det mesta går oftast att lösa. Mejla oss gärna på wishutskick@gmail.com, om du har specifika frågor om lokalernas eller lägrets tillgänglighet!

Aktiviteter
Under onsdagen, torsdagen, fredagen och lördagen kommer workshops/föredrag/demonstrationer/kunskapsdelningar av olika slag (exempelvis magdans, poledance, bondage, piskteknik, queer teori eller psykisk dominans) att hållas under eftermiddagarna. Alla workshops kommer vid behov att vara engelskspråkiga.

Anmälan/betalning
Sista anmälningsdag är 30 maj. Om det är fullbokat arrangeras en väntelista för eventuella avbokningar. Avbokning kan göras fram till 3 juli på grund av sjukdom eller andra allvarliga händelser och avgiften kan då återfås med avdrag för administrativa kostnader. Avbokning efter detta datum kan göras men tyvärr kan inte lägeravgiften återbetalas då.  Anmälan/bokning, frågor och funderingar kan skickas till: wishutskick@gmail.com.

VIKTIGT! Ange tydligt i anmälan: Fullständiga namn, födelsedatum, adress/kontaktuppgifter och allergier/dietbehov för alla personer anmälan gäller. Ange även information och önskemål om inkvartering. Den som gör inbetalningen ska ange sitt namn och hur många/vilka inbetalningen gäller på ett sådant sätt att vi tydligt kan koppla anmälan till inbetalning!

With only a month to go before the camp begins it is really exciting to realise that there are going to be an amazing week with many interesting participants and a programme that offers multiple possibilities to realx, play and explore – yourself as well as the others…

Here is some highlites so far:

Mollena Williams – International Ms Leather Pride 2010 and BDSM educator will bring us workshops and talks on many interesting topics such as Negotiation for the Hopelessly Shy & the Terribly Awkward, Playing with Strangers: How to get it on at a Con!, Beautiful Intention, Gracious Focus: Bringing Service to Life, The Psychology of Psychological Play. These are only a few of her  regular classes and you can read more about them on her blog The Perverted Negress.

Ingo – created Wotever World in London 2003, and run different events/clubs within this organisation as well as the Queer sexclub Klub Fukk. Klub Fukk is a safe meetingplace including all the different genders and sexualities that unites as Queer. At Klub Fukk Queer Porn is showed and since a few years they show their own films. Made and produced at the club. At Wish Powerexchange Ingo present a workshop and you will have the possibility to see some of them and also create your own if you want to. It is also a great opportunity to get inspiration and advise about the wide world of Wotever!

During the week we will also be joined by a bondage instructor that will litterally show us the ropes – make sure you bring your own if you have them!

Apart from all the possible sexercise you might get into and the making of your own clothes and plesure paraphenalia in the leather workshop under possible guidance from one of Swedens most experienced craftsmen during your stay, there will also be other lesiures available!

An expert on yoga and meditation is participating and have offered to act as an instuctor during the week for those who wish to explor this.

We are bringing two sea kayaks with safety equipment for those who want to feel the seaside from another perspective. There are experienced users present that may coach beginners.

We are also hopefully expecting a massage expert and a makeup artist specialised in extreme designs as well as the daily beautification. That would provide a perfect complement to the photosessions available by renowned fetish photograher Susanne, the artist behind the internet site A Thing for Rubber (http://www.a-thing.se),who will be taking photos of professional studio quality if you want to. If you already are sure that you want to do a photosession it is possible to book it in advance to be sure that you get your prefered timeslot! Send us an e-mail about it at wishutskick@gmail.com.

Its getting closer by the day now! The Swedish westcoast is getting ready to greet a queer and playful group with their sights set on Wish Powerexchange Summercamp!

We can drop a few teasers and tell you that renowned fetish photograher Susanne, the artist behind the internet site A Thing for Rubber (http://www.a-thing.se), will be taking photos of the guests who want to have their picture taken on the last eve of the camp, so be sure to pack your favourite fetish outfits, folks!

We have also invited partyfixer Ingo, from the team behind Wotever World (http://woteverworld.com ), who is currently involved in a queer pornproject, filming the activities on klub fukk in London. Ingo will be holding a workshop on queer porn during the camp.

The leather workshop will be up and running, with a craftsman guiding those who want to make their own toys how to make for example their own cane, tawse or bridle. For those of you who got hooked on mud after the mudparty  we can also let is slip that we have a giant rubberfloat prepared for messy fun like wrestling or making out in a pool filled with  j-lube or mud.

All of this is just a few of the options to choose from during the stay and all is of course based on voluntary participation!

There are still vacant rooms on the camp, so be sure to register and seize this unique opportunity to make international contacts, play in well-equipped dungeons, sunbathe on a secluded beach or simply hang out with like-minded people on the veranda or in the outdoors bubble pool!

Nu börjar det dra ihop sig! Västkusten gör sig redo för att ta emot ett leksuget och queerigt gäng med kosan inställd på Wish Powerexchange! Vi kan redan nu avslöja några av överraskningarna om vad som kommer att hända på lägerveckan!

Under lördagen att gästas lägret av fetishfotografen Susanne som ligger bakom internetsajten A Thing for Rubber (http://www.a-thing.se). Susanne kommer att ta foton av de lägerdeltagare som vill föreviga sig den sista dagen på lägret, så se till att packa era favorit fetischoutfits, välj ut finaste redskapen och  provposera kanske redan nu  för den mest förföriska nya presentationsbilden du egentligen vill ha!

Vi har även bjudit in festfixaren och filmskaparen Ingo som ligger bakom Wotever World (http://woteverworld.com ) och kommer att hålla en workshop kring queer porr under lägret. Ingo, skapade Wotever World i London 2003 och inom denna grupp utav event/klubbar och politiska sammanhang samt den Queera sexklubben Klub Fukk. Klub Fukk är en sexuell mötes plats för alla gender och sexualiteter under det stora paraplyet Queer. På Klub Fukk visas  bl.a queer porr och de har under de senaste åren, även gjort egna filmer. På Wish Sommarläger har du chans att både se vissa utav dem, samt medverka och skapa dina egna.

Läderverkstan kommer att vara up and running, med en hantverksvärd tillgänglig för er som vill ha lite handledning i hur man tillverkar sin egen cane, tawse, ponyplayträns, o.s.v. För er som fick mersmak på lera under mudpartyt kan vi även avslöja att vi har införskaffat en enorm gummiflotte som kan fyllas med lera, j-lube eller något annat som uppmuntrar till messy fun!

Allt är givetvis frivilligt och bara en av många möjligheter som finns till förkovran och utforskande underlägret!

Det finns fortfarande platser kvar, så se till att anmäla er för det här unika tillfället att skapa internationella kontakter, leka i välutrustade dungeons, bada på naturskön strand eller bara rätt och slätt umgås med likasinnade på den mysiga punschverandan eller i den varma utomhusbubbelpoolen!

Informal meeting about Wish Powerexchange Summercamp on Tuesday the 8th of June.

För alla som är nyfikna på Wish Powerexchanges sommarläger som kommer att hållas på Västkusten den 21-25 juli (läs mer här), har frågor eller förslag på aktiviteter eller rätt och slätt bara vill få en chans att träffa några andra som ska komma på lägret kommer vi att ha ett informellt infomöte tisdag 8 juni på 18-20 på Morfar Ginko/Papa Raj Raj som ligger på Swedenborgsgatan 13, på Södermalm i Stockholm.

The summer of 2010 will see the starting point for what we hope will become a yearly summer camp for women ( including those who are, have been or is about to become women)  interested in BDSM and fetishism. Wish invites you to an exciting, long weekend on the west coast of Sweden, filled with happenings and activities play areas, several workshops and fantastic surroundings to explore. It will also be a perfect opportunity for bikers to get together, of course under the conditions that you understand and respect the BDSM- and fetishist theme.  Furthermore, the week after the camp is Stockholm Pride week so this is a perfect opportunity to get the most out of a stay in Sweden

Date:
The camp will take place from Wednesday the 21th of July to Sunday the 25th of July. If anyone is interested in arriving earlier this can be arranged at the time of registration. Before Wednesday there will be guests of both sexes at the estate, but all those present will be respecting the BDSM and fetish focus of the stay. From Wednesday only those attending the Wish Powerexchange camp will be present, as well as personnel taking care of the practicalities on the estate. In order to promote a good atmosphere we would prefer if the participants stayed for the whole duration of the camp. This means we will prioritize those who register for the whole period. Registrations for shorter time periods will be accepted provided that there is room. The most important thing is that you have arrived at 18:00 on Wednesday evening. That is when the camp is officially presented, along with the participants. There will be a common dinner and a tour of the premises and the play areas.

Price:
The cost of the camp is 2700 SEK (260 €), and that includes both room and board. There will be a possibility to reduce the fee by 300 SEK (29€)/day if you are willing to for example help in the kitchen or with cleaning during a couple of hours per day. This is a way to facilitate coming to the camp for everyone.

Place:
The camp takes place on the west coast of Sweden, surrounded by beautiful nature and close to the beautiful town of Smögen, as well as Nordens ark, an animal sanctuary for endangered species. There is walking distance to a picturesque beach perfect for swimming.

The premises:
On the estate there are newly renovated, spacious shower- and bathrooms. There are washing and drying facilities for clothes as well. On the yard there is a bathing tub (hot tub) where you can take a relaxing hot bath in the summer evening, both before and after indulging in different activities. There is a sauna under construction, which may be completed in time for the camp. Inside there are play rooms with furniture and equipment for s/m and bondage play, such as a gynecologists chair, bondage chair, whipping benches, metal poles, Andreas’ crosses, winches in the ceiling and mattresses. Since the estate has an enclosed yard, there are also possibilities to play outside. In the basement there is a lockable dungeon with a booking system for more private encounters. We also have some possibilities to arrange especially themed areas such as a clinic or a classroom, if you let us know in advance of you preferences and wishes. Further there is a well equipped leather workshop for those who want to make their own toys or clothes. A leather smith will be at your disposal, and you can either bring your own materials, or buy on site.

Depending on the number of participants, there may be a possibility for couples to get their own rooms, please tell us when you register if you want to be on the list for this option. All the participants must bring their own bed linen and towels. (For those of you who have a luggage limitation please let us know when booking that you will need to rent bed linen) We will also ask you to clean your rooms before departing.

Disability accessibility:
Unfortunately the camp is not well adapted for wheelchair access. If you have any specific questions regarding disability access, please do not hesitate to mail us.

Activities:
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, workshops will be arranged during the afternoons. The topics will include for example Shibari bondage, whipping and “mind control”. All the workshops will be held in English. If you have any special skill or knowledge that you would like to share, we welcome suggestions for lectures, workshops, and demonstrations of all kinds.

Internet access:
There is a wireless Internet connection at the estate. It is, however, very weak, so we cannot assure a reliable connection.
