2011 Gateway Burn: Organs & Gears

Theme Camps

"Theme camps are the interactive core of Burning Man." Harley K. DuBois, Burning Man's Director of Community Services & Playa Safety Council, hesitated a second. "I hate to call this a rule, but if I have to have one it's simple: A theme camp must be participatory." It's a playful challenge [...], an expansion of the infectious celebratory nature of the event. "The camps keep getting bigger and better, more thought-out and polished. But," she spoke firmly now, "you always welcome anybody and everybody."

Camp Climbax

Camp description: At Camp Climbax, we'll get you higher than you've ever been at Gateway. Camp Climbax began as an idea between two of our founding members who are rock climbers as well as burners. They aim to combine their interests and introduce burners to the joys of rock climbing, while at the same time crafting a substantial art project that's both imaginative and interactive. The end-result is a team-designed and constructed climbing structure that invites users to interact, learn, and have a lot of fun. At night a smart array of lights will highlight and accentuate the structure further. Come out and play with us. Camp website: http://www.campclimbax.tk
