PolyParadise History - 2024

    Our only source of income to cover the costs of bringing PolyParadise to Black Rock City each year is thru our Camp Fee. In 2024 we established a camping fee of $325/person.

    The total population of the PolyParadise On-Playa was 186 Campers. We thank the Twisted Swan & The Temple of Bacchus for being part of our Village; adding in their 60 Campers we had a total of 246 Campers within the Village -  WOW!!!!!

    We had 95 veteran campers return and 91 new campers and of that number 65 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 67 International campers from (Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Mexico, Qatar, Spain, United Kingdom, Vietnam).

    In 2023 we partnered with the Twisted Swan on a rental of a 26' container from a company in Empire.  This container will allow both PolyParadise & the Twisted Swan to be able to store gear from both camps that do not need to be hauled back to our home locations.

    PolyParadise will be able to store 95% of all the EMT Conduit, the shade structure parts (Connectors, Tarps, Canvas Tarps, Cammo, Chairs, Metal Racks).  The container will be stored at the companies yard in Empire and be delivered on-playa in 2025. 

    The cost of this rental spit between the two camps is ~$1,500/year.  We were able to make the payments for 2024 & 2025.

    Even with the costs of the container rental; we did end 2024 with a positive balance of $750. 

    With all of the infrastructure items that we purchased in 2024 and very few major items that need to be replaced for 2025 - The camp fee for PolyParadise 2025 will be $275/camper.  That is down $50/Camper from 2024.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN COMMUNITY!!!
