Camp Details what living in camp will be like
INFRASTRUCTURE or “what is my financial contribution going to help create?” Your money goes into materials, transport, and organizing for our physical spaces, power, sound, lighting, a kitchen set up, food supply, shower set up, bike rack for 120 bikes, multiple shade structures. What you will need to bring is your own bedding and tent and personal effects. We highly recommend you bring a bike. For 2007, we will be spiffing up the kitchen quite a bit, putting some money into making a nice shower set-up, looking into getting a communal water supply for cooking and washing, plus hiring someone to pump and take out the grey water.
CAMP ACTIVITIES Some will be prescheduled and in the printed calendar of Burning Man events, like the beginner’s classes and the center camp jam. Other activities, both open and internal to camp-and-friends, will arise organically during the week… focus jams, labs, performance instigations, special classes, etc. Main communication methods during burning man will be…
Goto Participate as it updates for details of what camp is going to be hosting This is an organic process … let’s just jump in with enthusiasm and see what happens. WORKSHIFTS Everyone will be expected to do workshifts during the week, in addition to signing up for either set up or take down of camp. We haven't yet sussed all of this out yet, but basically when you arrive at camp, someone will greet you and, amongst other things, show you where the workshift board is, where you will be expected to sign up for about 3 hours of workshift. Workshifts will be things like dinner cook, dinner clean, space cleaning, mopping center camp dance floor, etc. It got a little scattered last year, so we will have someone whose duty it is to keep that organized and we will also double up some of the more important shifts and add quite a few more cleaning shifts. FOOD What to expect food-wise? Dinners will be organic vegan with vegetarian options. We will also have a pretty thorough supply of foods for breakfast making, snacks, lunch, tea, and coffee. Any suggestions about what might make a large group of people happy in a frugal manner, feel free to send them. We have access to wholesale ordering of organic food, as well as some interesting sources of donations of produce. Water Showers However, it is nice sometimes to just have a shower when you want it, so we will have a communal shower set up. We want to upgrade the system from last year. If you want to be a part of the team engineering this, please get in touch. I think with a little effort, we can have something really nice that will just make our days that much more pleasureable! What to bring? What is Burning Man like? Arrival/Departure We will be doing a big camp clean on Sunday the 2nd and then a break-down and final camp clean on Monday the 3rd. If you like, you can stay for some days after and help with the overall clean up effort, which I hear is an interesting experience. We ask everyone who is coming to camp to be there for 2 of the following ...Load-in (Nevada City on the 24th), Set up (Playa on the 25th), Clean-up (Playa, the 3rd), Load-out (the 4th, Nevada City). Let us know ahead of time, which of these you can commit to. If you can't do at least two of these, contact us and perhaps we can arrange some other form of group contribution ahead of time.
