Who Are We Anyway?

Our original camp flag (2004)

Probably one of the most diverse fun-loving camps on the Playa. Definitely one of the most inclusive.  We range in age from 13 to 60+ including truck drivers, doctors, lawyers, chefs, designers, technicians, accountants, engineers, students, Burning Man event volunteers, and two BRC Rangers.  Our campmates come from Reno, Tahoe, Sacramento, San Francisco, Napa Valley, and as far away as Memphis, TN.  We've ranged in numbers from 20 to 80 campmates over the years. For the past several years we've averaged about 50 campmates.

10 years ago we were primarily a male gay camp. Over the years, we've invited friends and family and our demographics have changed, so we've obviously become more straight friendly.

 

How We Became Celestial Bodies

For several years we had no name on the Playa, we just were. That changed in 2004 with "Vault To Heaven."  In response to that year's theme, one of our campmates made us a flag. The following year, no one could find the flag, but the name stuck. 

In 2009 we started working to run our camp on solar and wind power. In 2010 we are greatly expanding that endevor. Click HERE to see more.

In 2007, 2008 and 2009, our campsite was a clean GREEN on the MOOP Map! Many thanks to all of our hardworking and conscientious campmates, friends and guests, and for the support and guidance of the Earth Guardians.
