Camp Envy

What is "Camp Envy"?

Since 2009, Camp Envy are a global group of burners who aren't at the community event called "Burning Man". This takes place every Labor Day weekend in the seven mile playa of Nevada known as "Black Rock City". Camp Envy is not associated with or represents Burning Man, the Burning Man Project, Decommodification, LLC, Paper Man, LLC, Black Rock City, LLC, or the Black Rock Arts Foundation.

For many years, the annual Burning Man event has grown beyond capacity. With this popularity, tickets become a scarcity. Attendance drives up the cost of the event support services, which drives up the cost of the tickets. Since Setember 1990, the Man has burned in a desert that many find remote and inhospitable. It is for these reasons and more that many burners-at-heart cannot attend the event in person...

In response to the Burning Man mission to be radically Inclusive, a live video broadcast was developed to connect, entertain, and enlighten the farthest reaches of the planet. The live streaming video chat room viewers were in "Camp Envy"...

Through these connections, burners across the globe collaborate and build "on playa" theme camps. Some assist with the webcam team and BMIR. During the other 51 weeks of the year, Camp Envy members participate in global regional events, to share and inspire others to explore, get weird, and have fun. Participation above passivity...

Check some of the many iterations of Camp Envy for more information about how you can connect with other burners and creative people alike in your local community. Host your own event during the burn, get creative, freak out the normals, get outside, learn and educate, and burn all the things!!!...
