Everyone is encouraged to give their single or multi-tent camp a theme. It's an exciting part of the culture and an excellent way to participate.
Theme Camps can be as simple as a massage table or as elaborate as a geodesic dome art gallery. The more interactive your Theme Camp, the better. Sound, music, games, art, sculpture, light - use your imagination!
Creating/running a Theme Camp is easy - and a lot of fun!
- Pick a theme and plan how you're going to achieve it. Figure out how people can participate, then build or decorate accordingly. You will probably want to make a sign so people will know what's going on.
- Always keep the weather and elements in mind when planning a Theme Camp. How can you prevent your stuff from blowing away? Will it survive cold, heat or rain?
- It's also a good idea to educate the people who will be camping with you so they can continue the effort when you're away from your campsite.
- Every Theme Camp is different. There is no blueprint. Just do what you can and expect things to evolve as you go along.
- Consider MOOP (Matter Out Of Place) when creating your camp. Are you using the least MOOPY materials? If you have a messy communal area, think about laying down a tarp or drop cloth that can be folded up when you break camp. That method could spare you picking up a lot of MOOP from the floor of your camp. Does your camp have a MOOP Plan and is everyone aware of it? Do you have plenty of trash bags available?
- In your mind, pretend that you're another camper and you've just found out about your Theme Camp. What do you expect? What do you want to know? Who will tell you, or are there signs?
- How can you participate? How could the camp be organized to help you participate and what materials would you need to do it?
- Please feel free to set up your own Theme Camp lighting. Electricity will not be provided so you must make your own with generators, batteries, solar, etc.

RESOGRILL & LOUNGE
Hosted by: Shimmer & The Keepers
Come One! Come All! Let's get our grub on! Everyone knows that I love to cook (and eat), so this year we will be hosting 4 community meals for everyone to fill up on at 12:00 (noon) and 6 pm each day! The ResoGrill is a HUGE community grill located near the main lodge. This grill is available for any members to use, but please clean up your mess and take your leftovers with you! (I like to cook and eat, but cleaning up and doing dishes is not my favorite hobby.) The former cuddle puddle will be located at the ResoGrill as a lounge space, which will also be a perfect front row seat to this year's new fire stage!! So come hungry and leave full and happy! Can't wait to see you all out there! (Please note: Grill area is to remain open and clean at all times. You assume risk of using on your own without supervision. Last year we had problems with people leaving items out and about. Please take your mess and leftovers with you. Its a community kitchen, not a soup kitchen.)

I'd be happy to have a volunteer helper if anyone is interested!
