Most people in Black Rock City live together in placed camps (theme camps), the most unique aspect of this unique event. BRC has 1400 camps.
Theme Camps = Communal Effort + Intimacy + Self-Expression
Theme campers gift a uniquely decommodified ‘third place’ of offerings and ambiance.
At this annual symposium, staff and volunteers share how they gift their interactive camps to the participants. It’s an art. It’s a science.
