OMG Last Chance Tickets On Sale Wednesday August 3rd

We still have about 20-30 campers who would love to join us who don't have tickets. We'd love your help trying to get tickets in the OMG sale, if you haven't already purchased tickets in any of the other sales. In order to help with this, you need to register now, before Friday at noon PDT with your Burner Profile account to be a part of the OMG sale. Create a burner profile if you don't have one already.

Then, on Wednesday, August 3rd @ 11:50 am PDT, please be at your computer (phones not recommended) to buy tickets at noon, and please buy two tickets if you're one of the lucky ones who is given the option. Also, ensure you have a credit card that has at least $1500 credit available. We don't seem to need vehicle passes, but if you want to buy one it couldn't hurt, but I can't guarantee that you'll be able to sell it, please message in the #tickets Slack channel if you are in need of a vehicle pass.

Camp at Burning Man Update

Camp is coming together, with fits and starts. We had a productive work party this past weekend and began loading up the new trailer that will transport gear to the playa, as well as checking out the Steam Bath to see if we can get it working for the burn. We also worked to support the land that the Quink Fair will happen on. Thanks Cynthia, Posiden, Jesse, Elle, Gi, Laure, Rio, Macaco, Gabriel, Sid, Paxus, Grace, Jason, Dash, Kelpie as well as our kind hosts who let us use their land for Proto Quink and Quink!


We have more work to do to get ready and more open roles. Roles that involve work off-Playa may be open to a partial scholarship:


  • Greeters Coordinator
  • Photographer
  • Kitchen Infrastructure
  • Leave No Trace Coordinator
  • COVID Safety Plan Managers
  • Newsletter Editor

Other camp staffing needs are listed in our #general channel on Slack, please message Spacious there if you're interested in one of these roles. We have a few more spots available in camp and will start a waiting list soon. If you or a friend want to join us, please sign up on our website, rather than reaching out to Darrell, and be sure and detail how you found out about the camp. There is definitely more churn around people joining and then being unable to come than in previous years, and we expect to get through most of our waiting list, if we even have one.


We will have another work party in Louisa, VA this Sunday; reach out to Darrell if you can come, rides are available.

Quink Fair, Mineral, VA September 23-26

Quink Fair is a festival where we gather to explore living together in community and share about community living. We have a number of great workshops, many of which you might find at a Camp Contact event. We also take visits to the local intentional communities to learn more about how they operate, including Twin Oaks and Cambia. Tickets are on sale now, and go up in price on Monday, August 1st.

Camp Contact at Transformus

It was great to be back at Marvin's Mountaintop in the village of Eden of the lands of Mysteria! Camp Contact had an incredible meal plan, led by Dash, including many different options from all the excellent chefs who came forward to bring us food. While we had to leave a day early due to rain concerns, we were able to offer many different workshops including two contact improv classes, one of which had musical accompaniment from the Iguana Chill Choir! Paxus and Jason brought the Post Office, as well as silk screening which provided many new tee shirts and other garments with new art on them. We did a lot of great Acro workshops, and also got to test out our Solar Power system thanks to help from Max and Jason! Thanks to Freefall for bringing her easy to set up tent for our massage space, and to Arrow and Teegan for bringing their RV setup and Dance Party on Friday night! See our camp photo above!

Consellation, Elkins, WV

Camp Contact is going to Constellation Burn, October 6-10! Registration will open soon
