The journey to Burning Man involves leaving behind the familiar and embarking on a journey towards the unknown.

Black Rock City Refugee Camp celebrates the strength, resilience, ingenuity, and compassion of these remarkable communities.
With open hearts, we welcome all who seek solace, camaraderie, and belonging. Join our journey of resilience and celebration, as we create a space where the enduring spirit of immigrants, refugees, and boat people shines brightly in the heart of Black Rock City.
