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!

And we’re intending to be back in 2012!

Interested in Camp Nomadia 2011? Here’s the scoop…

Camp Nomadia is not an officially placed camp – we will be land grabbing at gate open for our location.  It is critical that all Nomadians be pre-registered and involved in the specific instructions of how to find the camp once through the gate.

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.

Details for 2012 will be forthcoming.. but for now, you can join us on the Camp Nomadia Facebook group to keep ‘in the know’:

***We also keep a Facebook group for socializing and general announcements – all interested in Camp Nomadia are welcome on the Facebook group. But you must join and keep up with the Ning group to join the camp.

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!
