Tasks During the Burn

Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate in setting up and dismantling the camp. While some members will arrive during Build Week to help set up core infrastructure, others may arrive at the beginning of “event week” to assist with communal spaces like shaded tent areas or art exhibits. If you are unable to participate in these tasks due to other responsibilities, such as being a keynote speaker or performer, alternative duties may be assigned.

Throughout the week, all camp members are expected to keep the camp clean by ensuring no trash is left on the ground.

During Burning Man, we need volunteers for:

  • Utility Department (3 people, all week): Manage fuel for generators, maintain power lines and lighting, and oversee water usage in the kitchen and shower areas, including transferring water to storage systems.

  • Recycling (3 people, as needed): Set up and maintain recycling bins, manage burnable waste, and ensure the removal of full recycling and garbage bins.

  • Group Ice Runs (2 people, entire event): Collect ice requirements and funds from campers, and fetch ice as needed.
