And so we begin our registration for Reverbia Camp at Burning Man 2024, CURIOSER AND CURIOSER! Thank you for your desire to be a part of Reverbia, as well as your patience. And so...without further ado, here are the basics on registration, cost share fees and other important info for The Burn:
 
IF YOU HAVE NOT CAMPED WITH REVERBIA BEFORE, and have not filled out an application form that was accepted, do not register (unless you have already conversed with Reverbia leadership directly). Instead, go to https://www.reverbia.org/, fill out a camp application form, and wait for further instructions. We do not allow unvetted applicants to register.
 

Registration and Cost Share Fees
 
We'll be registering a capacity of 250 people, and as usual, expect our membership list to fill up quickly.
 
We require you to attend the All Camp Meeting on Monday, Aug.26th at 6pm! Dinner and then an after special Reverbia Dance Party concert will follow the meeting. We will begin our live music Schedule or another Rumor is circulating that has Playlist Doug possibly cooking up something spontaneous and epic.
 
We are a big camp and need to meet and connect faces to Leadership positions and reinforce the understanding of our guidelines and equipment usage in order for our camp to go smoothly.  We also like to have our camp mingle and mix and meet and greet one another!. Those planning to arrive on Playa after the All Camp Meeting will be given less priority for registration.
 
Special note to all Leads and Co-Leads: please do not put off registering! It makes it very hard to assess where we are at with numbers when you don't register.
 
To register, complete the form in the link at the end of this email. We will send out PayPal invoices within 5-8 days of your registration. Each camp member must complete the registration form separately. Your registration is not confirmed and your spot on the camp membership list is not reserved until your payment is received and you have signed up for your volunteer hours. If there are additional people who should receive this email, please email us and we will add them to the contact list and send them the registration information and camp messages directly.
 
So, here's a summary of what to do:
 
Sign up at the link below
Receive your PayPal invoice. We are going to once again attempt to avoid the 5% PayPal fees by using the "Friends and Family" option this year. This was very successul last year.

Pay your invoice right away - the only way you are guaranteed a spot! No exceptions.

Expect to be contacted sometime in July about your volunteer service and sign-up (more on this below)


 
Additional Information:

The cost share fees for this year will include a meal plan, drinking water, showers, shade, and power. The meal plan consists of a cooked breakfast/brunch, afternoon snacks, and hot dinner. On opening Sunday night, we will offer a light meal... and then the following week we will have full meal service Monday morning through Sunday night of the event. We will continue to do our best to accommodate special meal requests (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.) and will let you know if your request cannot be accommodated. *We are not a gluten and nut free kitchen...but can offer food that tends to both needs. We work really hard to keep costs as low as we can, and this year, we will be simplifying our menus more, in order to bring on-time service. We will not be compromising the quality of our meals. With the retirement of Chef Erik, we have a new incoming Kitchen Management team, who together with returning kitchen veterans...are hoping to satisfy your festival hunger needs. We are very encouraged by the equal professionalism of this group, and are looking forward to this next culinary chapter for Reverbia.
 
Your space on the camp list is not guaranteed until paid. Please do not send payment until you receive your invoice. Invoices are due upon receipt and if you don't pay within 5 days, your place will be given to the next person on the list. We will start a Wait List once full

More details on power hook-ups:
Your normal camp fee includes access to communal power:
   - only small things, like charging cell phone, batteries, LED lights
 for your tent, a small fan in your tent.  Keep this to less than 100W
 total per tent.
   - This DOES NOT include any kind of AC unit, heater, larger fridge with a compressor, or a swamp cooler.  These draw way too much power for
 the communal power grid.
   - If you want power in or close to your tent you must bring your own
 extension cord AND a small power bar! We recommend 25' (but more is
 better), light duty is ok for this.
   - We'll be providing communal power bars at each end of all the
 camping shade structures, and a charging station in one of the communal
 structures..
 
 15A Power Plan: $100 per circuit.
   - This will get you a dedicated 15A 110v (~1500W MAX) circuit to power
 a small RV/camper/tent with a smaller AC unit, heater, fridge or swamp
 cooler.
   - MUST bring an extension cord of 100 feet minimum, and at least
  >>>12<<< gauge. This is important. Light duty extension cords will have
 too much voltage drop and may damage your gear or melt in the day time heat.
 
 30A Power Plan: included with RV fee.
   - This will get you a dedicated 30A 110v (~3000W MAX) circuit to power
 a typical large RV/camper with an AC unit, fridge, microwave, etc.
   - MUST bring an extension cord of 100 feet minimum, and at least
  >>>10<<< gauge. This is important. Light duty extension cords will have
 too much voltage drop and may damage your gear or melt in the day time heat.
   - MUST be a proper RV extension cord with TT-30 connections.  We can't
 allow adapters or normal extension cords plugging into a 30A outlet
 (fire hazard!!!).
 
Volunteering and Participation
 
Everyone must commit to one area of volunteering, as opposed to a kitchen shift here...an LNT shift there... etc.. By specializing and focusing on one service sector for the week, we find that it fosters more accountability, camaraderie, competence, and ownership of volunteer duties. Everyone who registers will commit to a certain area of volunteering, and will then be contacted by the Lead from that specific area, to choose their preferred times for shifts. Everybody is required to do 14 to 18 'points' of service. We hope to also have pre-burn info sessions (zoom meetings) for each of the volunteer areas, so you are more dialed into and understanding of your service when you arrive on Playa. As we all know: volunteering & service is the heartbeat of our camp...and what Burning Man is all about.
 
If you have or know of extra tickets or vehicle passes for the event that are available for purchase, please let us know and we will put you in contact with Reverbians seeking tickets. ***Let us know if you are in need of a ticket...we can put your name down on a list we have for ticket searching.
 
Very important!: Before you register, please read the Reverbia Rules and Camp Info Document by Doug, our camp director, and other members of our leadership team.
