If you are considering joining us

Here's what you need to know.

Camp Stella welcomes all queer identified people and queer friendly people to camp with us. Last year’s members included gay, bisexual, dyke, transgender and straight folks. We strive to create a camp that is diverse and open to all orientations and gender expressions.

Camp Stella is not a clique. If you don't know anybody in Camp Stella, you are not alone. Some of us will have never met before we arrive on the playa.

Some of us are active in a 12 step program. Others simply want to experience Burning Man without the use of mood altering substances.

 


Expectations

As a community...

  • Prior to the event, Bar Area Burners will participate in at least one of our monthly picnics.

  • We have all agreed to experience Burning Man clean and sober.

  • We will contribute ($75-$125 non-refundable/person) towards the civic projects for Camp Stella and Avalon Village.

  • We will feast together on Tuesday night. 

  • We will host the Sobriety Sanctuary Wednesday - Saturday.

  • We will assemble a civic shade structure which will be prominently located on the Avalon plaza.  It'll be used for 12 step meetings at 3:00 and 8:00 PM and for the Sobriety Sanctuary from 9:00 PM - 6:00 AM.

  • We will share shower structures and evaporation ponds.  The showers will be built above evaporation ponds for all of your evaporation needs.  You will provide your own water and Solar Shower bag.

  • We will pitch in where ever we can.  We'll help our neighbors set up their tents, pick up trash that has blown into camp, build and tear down our civic structures, and generally contribute to Camp Stella, Avalon Village and to the city at large.

  • We are self sufficient. In the spirit of Burning Man we practice radical self reliance.  Bring everything that you'll need to survive a week in the desert.  Your fellow campmates will be helpful and supportive, but please come prepared.

As a member of Camp Stella you'll enjoy...

  • A sober oasis and the community of around 25 sober campmates.

  • A prime location within the city.

  • The Camp Stella Shade Structures.

  • The Camp Stella Shower Structures.

  • The Camp Stella Evaporation Ponds.

  • Some of your fee will go towards lighting both the Avalon and Stella structures and paths.

  • The Camp Stella Little Red Wagon to haul ice.
