Camp Contact going to BurnOut, November 15-17
Camp Contact is looking to go to BurnOut, a new Burner Community Gathering in Fredericksburg, VA, the weekend of November 15-17th. We checked the weather and its predicted to be in the 60s during the day and the 40s at night! Register for camp here!
BurnOut is a family friendly arts and camping gathering of our friends - we will either be joyful or somber - because we all could use some good vibes in a nice place not too far from DC!
What to expect: This is an 11 principle event, with a cap of 100 humans, kids and adults total!
What does it cost: Adult tickets are priced at $75.00 for adults. Kids under 16 are free - but please get a ticket for them too - helps us plan!
The ticket price funds adequate portas and cleaning, land use, small art grants, some infrastructure, some minor administrative costs, and a budget for kids activities.
If you'd like to donate more - our budget is pretty bare bones - you can do that on check out.
If there are any funds left over we will donate to a worthy cause.
Also, please - no bar camps. Personal use alcohol is ok - please be thoughtful about consumption and driving if you just want a day pass.
There will be a liability waiver at the gate that everyone must sign.

Thank you Flash DC!
Thank you everyone from Camp Contact and the greater Sunday Love community who helped us build and strike for the Flash Sunday Love Closing Party on October 27th! We set up two domes, the pinwheel and two fire barrels and enjoyed the perfect blend of self-care, music, and community along with a special performance from our friends from SpirtWild who were a big part of our camp at Burning Man 2023. Flash & Sunday Love have been a big supporter of Camp Contact and allow us to do many great things including hosting our Container Load In & Load Out, providing financial Support via their July Fund Raiser.
Yoga with JMiles!

Camp Leadership Council Assembled
We're have convened a camp leadership council consisting of campers from Burning Man and from East Coast Regionals and have about 30 members considering the future of Camp Contact, how to deal with the lack of participation in Strike at Burning Man, and looking to build stronger structures for camp. Further, Spacious is learning a lot from the Collaborative Leadership Certification Program. We are looking to gather in person in March or April 2025 for a Camp Leadership Retreat! Have any feedback about this process or want to participate? Email dance@campcontact.org
