There is unity underneath the surface of what appear to be opposites. Pleasure & pain, light & dark, self & other.
They can only exist together.
“The theory of evolution is quite rightly called the greatest unifying theory in biology.”
— Ernst Mayr, Populations, Species and Evolution, 1970
Our story.

Dream it.
&camp's objective is to create a safe, comfortable, equitable, and inclusive container for its members, as well as provide nourishing gifts of meaningful programs, fun events, and yummy treats for all to enjoy.
To make this happen, all camp members contribute both in terms of work efforts and Camp Dues.

Build it.
&camp was founded in 2019 to celebrate a magical Metamorphoses and serve as the home of 28 Humans and 1 curious Art Car.
&camp returned to the playa in 2022, joined by the fun & loving spirits of Disco Diet. It’s population grew to 47 humans and 1 two-spirited Art Car in 2022.
-
Evolve it.
In 2023, &camp will continue its evolution as the on-playa home of The Queer Medicine Community and This Lil' Piggy & the Unicorn Kreamery.
This year we expect our on-playa community to include approximately 40 participants, with an expected ratio of 75% veteran burners and 25% virgins. Priority is given to prior &camp members in good standing, LA locals, and those volunteering for Leadership Roles.
-
Explore it.
Our community programming explores the concept of duality and is centered on healing and growth through exploration and celebration of self and other.
Connection & Celebration
In it’s two years on Playa, &camp has hosted two spiritual weddings, and some pretty killer parties. That feels pretty special. Let’s celebrate. Experience the Metamorphoses here.
