Theme camps are groups who provide an interactive experience that helps build the texture of our temporary city. Through the provision of activities, venues, and other participatory efforts, Theme Camps form the foundation to make the city of Constellation come to life.
A Theme Camp is a gift to the entire community and we’re thrilled that the following Theme Camps will be participating this year!
Theme Camps – Constellation 2017
Theme Camp: A Fistful of Grapes (Lite)

Theme Camp: Big Dick’s Hotdog Dome

We are constructing a 15 ft diameter geo-dome that will be the center focus of the camp. The camp will host a misinformation booth where burners can get completely inaccurate answers to any questions they may have. We will also have an interactive painting: all burners are encouraged to use the canvas and create the unknown.
Theme Camp: Camp )*( Elemental
Description: Camp )*( Elemental creates a mindful space of community builders, arters, HEALERS, and interactors. We are a varied group of vets, virgins, former TCOs, volunteers and other assorted do-ers that comprise a co-mingling of human energies all gathered together to advance The Burn and our community. Our space features the Elemental Abode of Peace, (aka Sanctuary South), a tranquil, naturally enhanced space within an enclosed, planted area featuring a flowing water cascade, flame pyres, Turkish rugs and pillows, and a devotional altar where participants can freely come to experience lush exuberance and peaceful mindfulness. Workshops, yoga, drum circles, thoughtful conversation, and new friends await!
Theme Camp: Camp Dreadful
Description: We are a new Halloween-themed camp with specific “sub-themes” for each event. For Fall Constellation, our sub-theme will be Skeletons/Bones. We will have ongoing activities throughout the weekend, such as cornhole games and ring toss games, and we also plan to hold other events such as an apple cider and fall drinks happy hour, and scary campfire stories with s’mores.
Theme Camp: Camp Gemstone
Description: The Gemstones spread their mineral magic everywhere they go. They are open to expanding the camp, but right now it’s just Ruby and Amethyst. They will be the ones wearing masks, in all red and all purple. Say hello and they might have something for you… The Gemstones will offer wire wrapping classes all over the playa! Just ask!
Theme Camp: Camp Gold Star
Description: We seek to reward individuals with hollow signifiers of achievement. At random times when it is cold out, we will serve our vegan mushroom broth (no drugs, just soup. At other times, if we decide to bring the bar, we will serve alcohol (ID Required).

Chill area with giant inflatables for people to eat hot dogs in (weenie lounge) and dry area for kids to hide when it is rainy and cold. Above ground fire bowl. Fuel bank area behind the camp. We offer hugs and some bad ass burn advice as well. Maybe some kid rides if art cart makes it to site. We like to hide at night.
Theme Camp: Camp Prana
Description: Our theme camp will offer free nutritious vegan food to those who are seeking raw nutrition. Anyone is welcome. This is all home made recipes and food is purchased from local stores. Raw vegan food brings us closer to our inner most selves by cutting out the suffering we ingest while eating animals. And food brings everyone together.
Theme Camp: Camp Re-Charge
Description: Camp Re-Charge is the place to go to recharge your stuff that you use vs. going to your car. We have many USB Hubs and Power Strips to handle many charges at one. Bring your cables and feel free to leave them in our space and return later. We are a Blue-Light Safe Haven as well if we can assist.
Theme Camp: Campzilla
Description: Campzilla is a Theme Camp loosely based on Godzilla, and we are from the DC/MD area. We interact with the community through food, art and play. Our art is comprised of a city of bop bag toys, made up to look like skyscrapers (decorated with fabric “slip-covers”), which are weighted with sand at the bottom, creating bounce-back action when punched. A backdrop of colorful plywood buildings are arranged behind the bop bags, helping to set the scene. A stuffed Godzilla, beach balls of fire, and inflatable creatures are also littered about, as props for additional therapeutic play. We advocate for Godzilla play therapy! The intent is to encourage participants to pretend they are Godzilla-like towering monsters, fighting off adversaries and crushing the city below. Punching down buildings is the ultimate expression of monster-like anger and tension dissipation. Remembering the “Bozo the Clown” bop bags of our childhood, people are immediately pulled to punch and play with the bounce-back toys. We have witnessed people running into and diving head-first into a pile of inflatables, surfing and tumbling over them, roaring and laughing hysterically!
Theme Camp: Catastrophe!
Description: Come cuddle in the WORLD FAMOUS Octonest! We are a consent-driven and inclusive common space defined by the participants. What goes on in the Octonest? Relaxation and consensus. But REMEMBER! No SHOES, No SLEEPING, and No SEX in the Octonest, we can’t afford the dry-cleaning bills! KIDS, CHILDREN, & TEENS are welcome during daylight hours!
Theme Camp: Coop de Grace
Description: Coop de Grace offers late night eggs and toast starting at midnight with an adjoining lounge space for you to roost. Join us Sunday at 1pm for the Booted Bantam Brunch where you can wear your fancy dress, show off your beautiful plumage, strut around in your finest boots, and enjoy our wine and cheese before flying the coop.
Theme Camp: Dots N’ DISCourse
Description: Dots N DISCourse provides participants with a chance to make connections. We live in difficult times and making connections, physical and social, between people and ideas is often quite difficult. Often people attend regional burns for this main purpose – to connect themselves to something positive and larger than themselves. This interactive art game experience aims to encourage conversation and connection through physical and mental play.

You’ll feel right at home.
