Social Cancer is an All-Theme Themeless Theme Camp made up of a core of 8 veteran burners and has a total of 14 members. Each member is carefully selected to ensure the “secret recipe” to the flavor of the camp is beautifully blended and complementary to the village in which we reside.
Over the years, we have learned that instead of quantity, we want quality in our camp. That means that every scheduled camp event is always “All Hands on Deck”! All of the camp members, unless engaged in a volunteer shift, are to be present and contributing to the overall feel of each event theme, including drinks, music, and heckling.
We strive to make our events as interactive as possible, from personally making each individual drink to the Shenanigans of our Lifeguards urging you to practice “Safety Third!”, or our Police Force that will assign you “community service” before you get to enjoy that drink. Each day, we have scheduled events for no less than 4 hours per day.

We love to play games, engage in conversation, and have fun with the primary goal of interacting with our visitors. We offer Tarot card reading, fortune telling, giant bubbles, giant Jenga and other silly activities to engage one another. We invite you to come hang out with us! And if you are in need of support we have trained campmates to help deal with difficult situations

Using biofeedback, our aim is to engineer group flow through interactive, multi-sensory community art projects.
Visual arts
-Easels, canvasses, brushes, paint, paper, and glitter will be provided to participants.
Music
-Heartbeats and brainwaves will be digitally channeled and amplified to create a live symphony of the scientific soul: “Biofeedback De La Banda.” We will convert your biofeedback data into soundscapes and broadcast your personal frequencies at Black Rock City.
-Using GPS satellites to synchronize musicians in remote areas without delay, selected participants located throughout Black Rock City will vibe out in a geographically-diverse jam session, synched with our Global Metronome.

Syncytium is a collection of artists, engineers, scientists and performers who do. We work hard together and play hard together. Stop by for some frozen goodness during the day, or at night to heat yourself up when you’re cold.
