2022 Theme Camps

Pink Light Camps

At Constellation this year, we’ll be trying out a new way to practice community support and resiliency! Throughout the back field, you’ll find a handful of camps with pink lights lit near their entrances. If you find yourself in need of personal wellbeing, safety, or other support, you can approach one of these camps and request assistance — someone there will make a radio call, and event volunteers will do their darndest to connect you with what you need. These Pink Light camps are highlighted with a (P) symbol below and in pink on the Map of the Known Universe.
