Placed Camp Handbook

Have you ever wondered, “Wouldn’t it be nice if all the information I needed to be a placed camp in Black Rock City were all in one place?” Well, we’ve thought that too and we’ve got you covered — look no further than the Placed Camp Handbook! We’ve assembled this handbook in an effort to consolidate all the info you need to work with the Placement team – from beginning to end.

In the handbook, you’ll find…

  • Detailed steps of the Placement Process broken into cycles: pre-playa, build week, event week, and post-event.
  • Tips for making great camp layouts
  • How to meet your Placer and claim your spot on playa
  • Important info about Build Week
  • Links to forms and other resources to help stay safe and succeed on playa
  • And much more!

We hope you find this a valuable resource to help you navigate the intricacies of creating a placed camp; working with us to create the magic that we do together. 

We’ve got forms for that… and now there’s a handbook, too!
