Question 1

Who is this event for?

Accepted Answer

This is a space for queer (LGBTQIA+) people of all genders, bodies, expressions, and experiences.  Our goal is to create the safest possible environment for those who may experience discomfort in other spaces.

Question 2

Who is this event NOT for?

Accepted Answer

This is not a space for cis-het people, and likely won't be appropriate for bi- or pansexual swingers who pass as heterosexual in their day-to-day relationships.  If you're not sure if this applies, you may want to try asking "do I need this space, or do I already feel at home in non-queer spaces?"
This is not a space for anyone who cannot separate genitals from gender, or who will be offended that people with particular bodies or identities will be present.

Question 3

Is this a KAMP-only event?

Accepted Answer

Essentially yes, but with a twist.  For this event, we also welcome members of Goliath's to get vetted and become KAMP members. They are vetted to the same standards, and held to the same expectations as any other KAMP member.  Just like with any other attendee, being vetted for the Bathhouse events does not guarantee that they will be admitted to other types of events.

Question 4

How can I purchase tickets?

Accepted Answer

All attendees must be vetted prior to purchasing tickets.  Once vetted, members have an account created, and are given a KAMP Bathhouse events badge  This gives them access to  purchase their ticket.

Question 18

Can I drink or consume other intoxicants on-site?

Accepted Answer

No.  Drugs and alcohol are not permitted in Goliath's.

We aim to create an environment which is welcoming to neurodivergent participants, and will thoroughly check that behaviour is abnormal before making any decisions.
