Door To Otter Space! 

March 16-19th, 2023 

Greetings from Otter Space!

Did you know an Otter can hold their breath up to four minutes underwater? A long tail and webbed feet help it swim. It's fur is water repellent.

Stay posted for updates about Volunteer recruitment progress and how you can help spread the word.

Theme Camps...


Have you been leading a theme camp for a couple years? Do you have experience and tips to share? What advice would you give to newbies?  Volunteers want to discuss theme camp placement. Checkout the preliminary map on our website.

The best advice from community theme camp leads is: Start Planning Early and Use a Shared Spreadsheet platform like Google Drive to keep details documented and accessible.  Come to Church Night, we can show you how.


There are currently 10 camps registered. Don't forget to register your camp to be featured on our website and city map.
 
Your camp can make fast and fun art! Connect to Art Projects page or FB Art Ignition group.

Thank You! to all that attended the SpeakEasy Fuzzy Sweater UBS Pre-Compression Party on Jan 6th. 

Amazing activation, around 100-120 people attended made up of 20% first time visitors, as well as returns of many long time Burner friends.
Shoutout to Volunteers: Mo Signal on DJ, Count and Pastelito on hot foods, Minty on hot cocoa and the gate, Safe Bare on gate and shielding screens, Si on bar/ ice/ food and art supplies, a new Burner named ZOON who helped with cleanup like a champ along with Keith. Dez (wo)manning the bar for hours like a champ.
The volunteer list goes on and on. 
Extra special THANK YOU to visitor, Queen Angelina, who did two drag performances, including getting at least 2/3 of our assembled burners dancing Cumbia! At 1 AM!
There were significant educational discussions about UnBroken Spring 2023.
