Introducing Beach Please, the ultimate destination for immersive undersea experiences, vibrant music, and a
welcoming community at Burning Man! Our camp is designed to be a haven of creativity, self-expression, and
connection, where burners can come together to celebrate and explore.
At Beach Please, our main
focus is to create an unforgettable experience for our fellow burners. Our expansive sound dance floor and
bar, accompanied by our fire circle, set the stage for epic gatherings. Step into the captivating world of
our resident artists, who have crafted an undersea wonderland that will transport you to a realm of beauty
and imagination. And as you venture out, you'll discover our themed art support frontages, intricately
designed to harmonize with the artists' playa sculptures.
Nighttime at Beach Please is a
spectacle in itself. Bask in the glow of UV LED lighting that illuminates our day-glo undersea theme,
accentuated by a mesmerizing neon sign and LED accents. We believe in sustainability, so our lighting is
powered by solar energy, ensuring that our camp remains environmentally conscious.
As a camp,
we're deeply committed to contributing to the Burning Man community. We foster a sense of participation
and interactivity, with every member of our village actively involved. Beyond our own camp, we partner with
an art support camp within our village, extending our reach and influence. From the kitchen lead to the
culture lead and beyond, our inner village support team ensures the seamless functioning and well-being of
our camp.
Welcoming diversity and practicing Radical Inclusion is fundamental to us. Beach Please
Village embraces individuals from various countries, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and campers of
different racial backgrounds. We recognize the importance of creating an environment that celebrates
intersectional identities. Our diverse range of workshops covers topics such as harm reduction, sexuality,
and LGBT+ issues, offering opportunities for education, dialogue, and personal growth.
Art is an
integral part of our camp's fabric. We encourage radical self-expression, and our undersea theme
provides a captivating backdrop for burners to unleash their creativity and explore new realms of artistic
expression. In collaboration with an Honoraria grant recipient, we aim to ignite the imagination and inspire
the artist within each participant.
Safety and comfort are paramount at Beach Please. We
prioritize consent, adhering to the 11th principle, and foster a culture of education and support for harm
reduction. We create a space where everyone feels respected, heard, and safe to explore and enjoy their
Burning Man experience to the fullest.
Beach Please is more than just a camp; it's a platform
for self-exploration and personal growth. Through our diverse workshops, we encourage campers to delve into
new topics, challenge assumptions, and expand their horizons. We foster a supportive community that goes
beyond the playa, forging deep connections that endure long after the burn.
Communal effort and
civic responsibility form the backbone of our camp. We foster cooperation and participation by expecting all
camp members to complete at least two volunteer shifts, creating opportunities for engagement and a chance
to contribute to the broader community. By educating newer burners about volunteer opportunities, we empower
them to be active participants in the event.
Our support for community extends beyond Burning
Man. We continue our journey at regional burns, where Beach Please members come together, strengthen their
bonds, and embark on new adventures. Within our camp, we offer essential amenities such as shade, a
centralized kitchen, showers, and a chill space. We also organize a power grid for camp members to share,
ensuring that everyone has access to necessary resources. Our experienced leadership team is always ready to
lend a helping hand, providing guidance and support to ensure an unforgettable experience for all
campers.
Join us at Beach Please, where the magic of the undersea world merges with the
transformative spirit of Burning Man. Immerse yourself in art, music, and an atmosphere of acceptance and
growth. Let us be your sanctuary as we embark on this extraordinary journey together.
