Camp 3 ESD is a very special place. It’s been around since 2001, and is unique in that it has survived so many years. Many (if not most!) camps eventually implode or disband, yet Camp 3 persists.
What makes our camp so special and a place where people want to return year after year? It’s the culture of mutual respect and responsibility, and a culture of contributing. Our carefully organized kitchen, camp layout, and camp chore chart makes for a high functioning arrangement where everyone’s basic needs are taken care of thanks to high levels of participation by campers. Things get done with seeming little effort. Fabulous meals are made. There is an actual functioning shower, tended by a volunteer who loves a clean-ish shower. |
Campers put on ridiculously fun events, and there is always a fine cocktail waiting for you in the Undome. The breakdown day, Monday after the Temple Burn, has evolved into a high energy and lighthearted exercise in teamwork that is downright fun.
Having an established framework and roles for everyone is key. Thanks to all of you for showing up. If you haven’t shown up to help, please do. It means so much to the group as a whole, and it’s a great exercise in mutual support and gratitude. Along with the physical contributions that each makes, we also maintain the highest standards in mutual respect, common decency, and generosity of spirit. Camp 3 is our home at Burning Man, and all should expect to feel welcome and comfortable. |
