Camp Nomadia – Burning Man Theme Camp for Nomads!

In 2008 we had an idea: A Burning Man theme camp for nomads… a camp that would take the ‘Welcome Home!’ greeting to a new level. A neighborhood of folks who would attend Burning Man as part of their normal traveling lifestyle, and not as a break from fixed life in one location.

Camp Nomadia was born! The vision was to camp and interact with other cool nomadic spirits, share stories, resources, share our passion for our chosen lifestyles, inspire, learn and make connections for future rendezvouses.

For four years in a row… Camp Nomadia has been an awesome experience!

2012 Update:  Like many established camps, hardly any of our core Nomadians ‘won’ tickets in the lottery.  Many of us are instead simply making other plans this year, thus there is currently no active planning for Camp Nomadia 2012.

However, we will be at a couple regional events this year – and hope to meet up with you there!  Look for our 1961 blue & white vintage bus conversion!

Burning Flipside (Austin Area) – we’ll probably be in the open camping area, and offering a workshop on Saturday at 11am on Technomadic Living.

Gateway Burn (St. Louis Area) – we’ll be there, and if there’s interest – we’ll do a workshop there too.

Interested in Camp Nomadia? Here’s the scoop…

The intentions behind Camp Nomadia are:

Camp Nomadia 2011

Community through radical self-reliance.As many nomads travel with their home set-up and are used to being self-sufficient, Camp Nomadia itself does not have any infrastructure – no showers, no kitchen, no central trash, no water, etc. We nomads generally don’t have the resources to store and transport enough for an entire camp. We believe that community can be built without relaying on each other for our basic responsibilities on the playa. We will crowdsource a central shade structure by linking several together.

No camp fees. With no infrastructure to support, we have no camp fees.

Interactivity. We want to create a space where nomads can share their passions with each other and the playa. We will host a workshop and a couple of happy hours. Bring your ideas, and let’s create this together!

Simplicity & Drama-free. By bringing together folks who are self-reliant year round, we intend to work together to create our home on the playa by minimizing the infrastructure and pre-planning.

You are welcome to join us on the Camp Nomadia Facebook group to keep ‘in the know’ as things develop.

We welcome current nomads, future nomads, former nomads, wanna be nomads, part time nomads, domestic nomads, international nomads, technomads, digital nomads, lowtechnomads, photonomads, RVing nomads, hitchhiking nomads, land nomads, bicycling nomads, running nomads, walking nomads, amtrekkers, backpackers, flashpackers, vagabonds, NuRVers, water nomads, folks who want to host nomads or folks who just want to be around nomads (yes, bring your non-nomadic friends too!).  Burning Man veterans and virgins alike!
