Come home to Fiasco.
Your nest to recharge. A launchpad for your nighttime adventures. A soft-floored, fan-cooled, water-misted shade fortress where workshops happen, naps happen, and bullshit principles are made up at 4am.
We celebrate failure of all types. We aim high. If we miss — well, it's a Fiasco.
when our camp sign gets borrowed, we will make up another one.
What is Fiasco all about?
Come home to Camp Fiasco. We will be your nest to recharge after wild adventures in the desert, a space to host workshops, a great place to relax in the shade when it's hot, and an amazing launchpad for your nighttime adventures.
At Fiasco we celebrate failure of all types. We encourage creativity and a spirit of YES, let's do it!!! And if it fails miserably, we say YES, we failed! We aim high — and if we don't get there, well, it's a Fiasco.
Our most popular workshops have included the Epic Speech Platform and the Jesus Convention, but we've also hosted Stretch-adelics, talks, and installations (including the famous Electric Lazy) plus the Nowhere 23 Art Project of the Year: Acqua Gallo.
We like comfort. We bring electricity & lighting, tent shade, a soft-flooring chill space (with fans & misters), limitless water, our own shower, a stocked kitchen, and a sound system. The kind of people we want to camp with are self-reliant, funny and low-drama.
the theme this year:
The Clown Resistance. There's too many rules, signs, and things that happen on time. Make Elsewhere a place of Nonsense again!!
We'll have an abundance of missions for our select elite force of Clumsy Ninjas, that will take over Elsewhere by night, unnoticed, and put things right. We'll have materials to make signs, spread disinformation, and bring chaos on the baddies of Elsewhere.
soft-floor siestas & workshops
when we brought Berghain to the playa and at first nobody could get in, then you could get guestlist, and eventually you could actually go to Berghain.
A theme camp is not a service.
it's shared work.
Everyone arrives no later than Monday 6th of July to finish build together. Early Crew (6-8 people) lands Fri/Sat 3/4 July. We strike all together on Sunday 12th July — plan to leave as late as possible.

10 Principles + 1
The bones of Burning Man, plus the one we hold sacred at Fiasco.
Radical Inclusion
We don't discriminate based on country of birth, ethnicity, religion or politics. We welcome all with kindness and respect.
Gifting
We enjoy gifting for the pleasure of it, with no expectation of anything in return.
Decommodification
No brands unless we've created them. No sponsors, no marketing bullshit.
Radical Self-Reliance
Take care of yourself first, both physically, mentally and emotionally.
Radical Self-Expression
Be whoever you want to be, show off, or don't! If you want to be free, be free. The burn is a canvas for your creative expressions.
Communal Effort
The whole event is a non-profit run by volunteers — join in the group effort by taking a shift with the burn too.
Civic Responsibility
Offer care to others when they are in need, and be mindful of how you affect a space. But also respect the local laws of the actual country we're in, yes?
Leaving No Trace
Bring back out everything you came with. We aim to leave as close as possible to no trace when we're done.
Participation
Get involved, don't be shy to propose an art project, workshop, or whatever! This is an event for people like *you* to step in and create or join something.
Immediacy
Try to be present in the moment, forget about your "real-world commitments" or schedules, and be as much fully there as you can be. Say yes to spontaneous adventures!
Consent
Ask first before any physical touch or photos. Don't assume people are up for whatever you'd like to do. Check for a clear enthusiastic YES first.
Sign Up Form
