Hello...A few of us from Louisiana are making our way out to our first Burning Man this year(2007) and we thought it would be a good experince to join a camp as it also might be a little easier adjusting....
My point:
Are there any camps that are willing to take on a few kids from Louisiana?
Thank you..

[quote="flipper"]Ways to find a theme camp to join, if you wish to:
0. Talk to folks in this thread who offered to discuss.
1. Check the eplaya threads for 2006 camps (and when it starts up, the 2007 camps list). Several will actively seek participants.
2. Sign up for your regional e-mail list at http://regionals.burningman.com/ Go to events and meet people. In Chicago, that's how Entheon got alot of crew.
3. Surf the list of last year's theme camps (and when it starts up, the 2007 list) for ones that suit your interests and/or are based in your area. Go to their websites for more info or e-mail the contact. Many will return. http://www.burningman.com/themecamps/06 ... ill_a.html
4. Fill out the BM volunteer survey online to see if there is something that suits your talents and experience level. Several volunteer groups also have reserved theme camp sites available for volunteers (I worked at Media Mecca, and was able to camp at Camp Green Zone).
5. Once you've got an understanding of how it works, you could find like- minded friends to start your own theme camp and register by July 1. But this works best if some folks involved have been on the playa, and perhaps helped organize a theme camp before. (See http://www.burningman.com/themecamps/re ... guide.html and http://www.burningman.com/themecamps/th ... teria.html for details)
Keep in mind that theme camping is work - part of your playa time will probably be dedicated to making the camp work and providing its interactive gifts to the community. There are also costs for the common facilities and the interactive components, which will come from some combination of camp fees and/or pre-playa fundraiser events. But as someone so gung ho, I don't think that should discourage you, but doing number three on this list will give you a clearer picture.[/quote]
i think they said it best, hope it helps!!! my first burn too, goin with some friends as well, my friends have it all organized tho, so im just a tag along that will wonder off once it gets started lol
