2024 Theme Camps
I Love Elephants
Join us at the “I Love Elephants” camp to celebrate the majesty and wisdom of elephants. Our passion spans from the spiritual essence of Ganesh to the communal spirit of elephant herds. Immerse yourself in an projection experience of Samskara, the Android Jones masterpiece! Dive into daily yoga, sound baths, music, and enlightening talks. Unleash your creativity in the Yaari Tent of Glow, painting laser-cut elephants or exploring body art. Our focus is unconventional, but it underscores a vital lesson: elephants, in their unique compassion, teach us about love and the necessity of community. Engage with informative panels, meet dedicated elephant activists, and embrace the call to action. Be part of a movement for change. Join us at Burning Man for an unforgettable experience.

Welcome to Ice Ice Maybe! 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. We bring a solar panel array to power ice generation, and serve this to sweaty Burners in the form of various icy delights. Sometimes the sun cooperates, and sometimes there are clouds, dust, and thunder. Hence the “maybe!”

We seek out the weary, the overheated and the disconnected to offer our signature Icy Hands experience. The instantaneous sense of relief, joy and connection turns recipients into PARTICIPANTS and makes them part of a larger whole. Icy Hands epitomizes “the gift that keeps on giving” by coaching recipients through providing the experience to others. Hands are cooled to near freezing temperatures by means of a simple block of ice, then with full positive consent of the recipient, those hands are placed upon the neck and jaw, providing an immediate sense of cool, calm and connection.
Block of Ice: $5. Memories, endorphins, friendship and dopamine rush: PRICELESS.

Feel free to hop into our pile of pillows underneath Mini-Cone as others manipulate the widgets to create a dazzling light show. You can also find us by looking for our “tripper stick,” a 22-foot tall LED light pole that guides weary travelers through the dark to our sparkly haven.

Hometown: LAS VEGASIllumination Village
Illumination Village is an eclectic gathering of camps, held together by history and shared resources. 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.
Come take a steam during the day and make sure to visit our Fire Art Carnival in the evening. Our Fire pit will be lit up late into the night.
All are welcome!

Insomnophilia is back at it in 2024 to celebrate being awake with YOU!

We create a space where servers get to create their ideal burning man experience by choosing interactions offered to guests who come by, and guests choose whichever of their offerings tickles their fancy. The result is consensual weird and wonderful experiences, and it’s hard to leave our camp, because you never know what might happen next: one moment it’s sweet and moving, and the next it’s rowdy and hysterical. During self-service hours, guests use menus to engage in interactions between themselves.
