We're excited to be launching our registration for Reverbia Camp at Burning Man 2023, ANIMALIA! Thank you so much for your desire to be a part of Reverbia. If you are unable to attend The Burn this year, then please plan on joining us for the Reverbia Campout! Our DATES OF THE CAMPOUT HAVE BEEN SWITCHED to Sept 29- Oct 2nd, due to a large wedding Havenroot had the opportunity to book on our weekend. We do love this new date... which should be warm enough for swimming and still cool enough at night for a campfire and a sauna. But without further ado, here are 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 reverbia.org , fill out a camp application form, and wait for further intructions. We do not allow unvetted applicants to register. Registration and Cost Share FeesWe'll be registering a capacity of 250 people, and expect our membership list to fill up quickly.
As in past years, we highly encourage everybody to attend the All Camp Meeting on Monday, Aug. 28th at 6pm! We are a big camp and it's easy to lose our unity and togetherness if we don't all get together right off the bat. Those planning to arrive on Playa after the All Camp Meeting will not be given 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 10 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 try and avoid the 5% paypal fees by using the "Friends and Family" option this year. This will be different from previous years, so expect that change.
- 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 sign-up (more on this below)
Additional Information:
The cost share fees for this year include a meal plan, drinking water, showers, shade, and power. The meal plan consists of a cooked breakfast/brunch, snacks and hot dinner, Sunday night 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 work
really hard to keep costs as low as we can, but please understand due to increases in food and fuel prices, we have had to raise fees $40. We have also had to raise RV/vegicla camping prices to bring them more in line with current power costs.
All amounts are in US dollars.
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, ect..
- 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.
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.
