Meal Share Program (through Poly Paradise Kitchen)
-
Cook a meal for 25 people (with your own ingredients); then enjoy the rest of the week's kitchen prepared food. (You are always welcome to cook more than one meal if you are so inclined).
-
You get to eat what others make and trust me no one eats like Poly Paradise on playa. And you get fed all week (Did we mention our Tri-Tip night or Turkey Dinner?).
-
Campers will be responsible for assisting with camp cleanup and excess dishwashing when necessary.
-
The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meal, including a robust spice cabinet, propane burners, pots, pans, a grill (limited space), bowls, spatulas, etc. (no oven). If you need special equipment, please bring it.
-
A sign-up form for meals will be made available closer to the burn.
-
-
New! Limited Shade for Tent Campers
First come, first served. Due to a generous donation, we have a 40x40 shade area for tents this year. We do have community shade spaces for day use.
Additional Options
-
Porta-potty (In ADDITION to your camp dues: Approx $75, final fee pending)​
-
NOTE: This is being managed by another camper, and is not part of the initial camp dues
If you would like to opt for our Porta Potty, it is about $75 per person (depending on how much USS charges) in addition to your camp dues. This covers the cost of renting the unit and pump-out service throughout Burn Week. It will also cover cleaning supplies, etc. This is a separate sign-up that requires a separate payment. Thank you for understanding.

What we can not provide
In order to provide a robust camp experience and gift to the playa, while keeping our costs down, we do not offer/provide the following:
​
-
Water/Ice
-
While we will truck in water, as a food service camp, we depend on our campers to supplement our H20 requirements. You do have the ability to buy ice on playa, which can be melted for water. It is the ONLY item you can buy on playa.

-
Tents
-
​We have limited space for additional infrastructure, and are unable to bring tents or other camping structures. To do so, we would need to increase our dues significantly.​

-
Bicycles
-
​We have limited space for additional infrastructure, and are unable to bring bicycles for everyone. To do so, we would need to increase our dues significantly.​
