Let's Go Build a City: Camp Symposium 2023

Most people in Black Rock City live together in placed camps, aka theme camps, the most unique aspect of a most unique event. There are almost 1300 camps in BRC. 

The annual Camp Symposium brought together dozens of staff and volunteers to talk out what they do to gift their interactive camp to BRC.

Hear (or read) highlights from the Plenary, many voices sharing knowledge and exploring ideas.

Here is how to

• build boundaries of community
• hold a center for our cultural vision
• make sense of mysterious acronyms!
