Event Overview and Theme
Naughty Knowledge 2026 is a three-day summer school-themed private hotel takeover event in Gettysburg, PA, running from Thursday, August 6, to Sunday, August 9. The event is designed for adults interested in personal development and relationship practices, offering education, skill sharing, playing, and partying. Studio 58 Events describes the event as making learning "fun and extra kinky" with an entire scholastic theme and extracurricular activities.
The event's curriculum will feature BDSM demonstrations divided into two tracts: Junior Varsity for beginner kinks and Varsity level for advanced techniques. Last year's event included over 30 presenters and classes covering topics such as bondage, spanking, electro-play, and fire cupping. Activities like yoga, chair dancing, and burlesque are also featured. A new addition for this year is the Naughty Knowledge Science Fair.
Scholastic-themed decor will be present throughout the host hotel, with prizes awarded for the best room decorations in the school theme. Other activities include a scavenger hunt, dodgeball, a human bingo mixer, and a talent show. The event will also feature a "Homecumming" dance. Studio 58 owner/co-founder J.P. mentioned activities such as karaoke choir with Giggles, decorating patio, balcony, and room doors with school colors, and playing in a private playground for sunbathing.
Presentations listed for the event include Intro to Pole Dancing, BDSM Safety and Consent, Kinky First Aid, Mummification, Rope 101, Sensual Knife Play, Wax Play, Fire Cupping, and Basic to Advanced Violet Wands.
Inclusivity and Amenities
Naughty Knowledge is described as LGBTQ+ friendly and aims to appeal to a wide range of attendees, including newcomers, swinks, swingers, kink professionals, and "vanillas" who may be kinky in the bedroom but seek more knowledge.

The event welcomes all adults who wish to express themselves authentically and explore personal development, identities, expressions, and/or relationships without prejudice. Studio 58 supports inclusion, diversity, consent, negotiations, interactive socializing, and self-development.
Hotel guests will receive complimentary breakfast and midnight snacks. The venue includes a clothing-optional pool area, where guests can find poolside games, activities, and private room parties. The hotel is arranged around an indoor pool and private courtyard, offering poolside, balcony, balcony suite, courtyard, and interior rooms.
