Burn In

       Your neighborhood Burn - Don't go out, Come BurnIn

BurnIn is a family friendly arts and camping gathering of friends - because we all could use some good vibes in a nice place not too far from DC!

What to expect: This is an 11 principle event, with a cap of 50 human adults; 

What does it cost:  Adult tickets are priced at $65.00.  Kids under 16 are free - but please get a ticket for them too - helps us plan! Day pass is $25.  Day pass means you will not be camping over night.

The ticket price funds adequate portas and cleaning, land use, small art grants, some infrastructure, some minor administrative costs, and a budget for kids activities.

If you'd like to donate more - our budget is pretty bare bones - you can do that on check out.
If there are any funds left over we will use it to purchase more stuff for the next event.  As always, we will publish the financials after the event.

Also, please - no bar camps. Personal use alcohol is ok - please be thoughtful about consumption and driving if you just want a day pass. 

We will have some activities, like tutu making, costume camp and ... effigy building in memory of our dear friend KJ.

       There will be a liability waiver at the gate that everyone must sign.
