PolyParadise History - 2019

    Our only source of income to cover the costs of bringing PolyParadise to Black Rock City each year is thru our Camp Fee. In 2019 we established a camping fee of $175/person.

    The total population of the PolyParadise On-Playa was 260 Campers. We thank the Twisted Swan & The Temple of Bacchus for being part of our camp space; adding in their 80 Campers we had a total of 340 Campers within the Village - WOW!!!!!

    Within PolyParadise had 122 veteran campers return and 138 new campers and of that number 84 were Burning Man VIRGINS. I thank all of the returning campers for making PolyParadise your Playa home, I so depend on each & everyone of you in making our camp an amazing loving space. Thank you to the 65 International campers from (Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Mexico, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland).

    We did end 2019 with a negative balance of $1,350. The deficit was incurred by the 2nd Truck Rental & Gas. Thanks to the generosity of our campers we have received monies to cover the 2019 budget deficit and have a nest egg for the Work-Party in 2020.

    Because of this deficit spending and a few key infrastructure purchases for 2020 (Tow Behind Generator & move to Lag Bolts instead of Rebar) our camp fee will be raised to $225/person in 2020). 

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN COMMUNITY!!!
