Camper Orientation

You’re camping with us? Great!

We’re thrilled to have you! This year will be our best yet — we’ve got more people, more organization, more resources, and have had more experience and time to think about everything.

If this is your first time, get familiar with the links on the right so you’ll at least have a small idea of what you’re getting into.

If you’re a hardened burner veteran, it’s worth reading through these resources for a few “aha!” moments and maybe adding some things to your kit that you hadn’t thought of yet.

Either way, we’re all looking forward to getting wild in the desert. Can’t wait to meet you all!
