I Love Elephants

We love elephants & the wisdom of Ganesh: We love them in herds, on carousels, in paint, in song, and thru our Asana practice. Express your own love for them! We are host to a spectacular Immersion Dome & share profound workshops! We have daily yoga, ecstatic dance and music! You can paint wood elephants in our Tent of Glow. Body painting too! This may seem irreverent, but elephants look strange, yet are the most compassionate animal on this planet! Humans are more strange – we can learn much from these loving creatures. Conventional approaches to saving elephants isn’t working – we need the unconventional! Be Unconventional – Join “I Love Elephants” camp! We also have a multitude of info-panels with little known elephants facts. Meet our Elephant conservation activists too!

I Miss My Dog Cafe

There’s no better way to celebrate Animalia than by honoring our furry best friends. Camp Calico’s I Miss My Dog Cafe is a community cafe uniting people over our love of all animals.

A colorful dog installation welcomes our guests, who are invited to relax in the intimate ambiance of dog-themed decor. Our on-duty dog-tor (human therapy dog) will enthusiastically greet you and dexterously serve whatever drool-worthy refreshments the house is cooking that day. Sit and stay for dog-themed events.

Staying true to our food-gifting roots, we host hot dog parties, serving traditional and vegan options for lunch. Our day starts bright and early with a sunrise coffee, tea, and kibble cereal bar. Nama-stay for our up-dog morning yoga or stop by for the occasional hair-of-the-dog cocktail.

Ice Ice Maybe

Welcome to Ice Ice Maybe, formerly known as Galapagos! We are a small but playful and inviting camp that offers daytime events inspired by wordplay, silliness, nerdiness and creative joy – hosted in a camp with some ice/winter-themed infrastructure and art. The concept is that we’ll bring a solar panel array to power ice generation, and serve this ice to sweaty Burners in the form of smoothies. It’s a new concept, new identity, and new setup for us. We expect it to work but it’s all an experiment — hence the “Maybe”!

Illumination Village

Illumination Village is an eclectic gathering of camps, held together by history and shared resources. We don’t require expensive dues to create a joint vision; instead, each camp is responsible for their own art and interactivity, and each is self funded. We have our own process of placement within the village, much like the microcosm of Burning Man, showcasing our most talented artists in the front, and then placing others around our edges of our camp, and within the village in our Town Square and internal roads. Each year it’s a new experiment in radical collaboration to create a cohesive feel for the village, across our many diverse camps. We love the multifaceted variety of environments and believe that it makes Illumination Village a unique and delightful place to visit.
