BURNING MAN 2024

We've officially kicked off the Miki Beach membership for Black Rock City this year! The process is highlighted below:

• Everyone who wishes to camp at Miki Beach, please fill out this questionnaire : Miki Beach @ BM 2024

• We will begin giving out invites around mid-June to the camp.  Invites will come via email, with other key information

• Thereafter, additional invites will be given out on a rolling basis until around early August when we expect the camp to be completely full

       Insight into Membership Decisions

• Camp Size – the size of the camp (by headcount) won’t be increasing this year.  We do a survey after BRC each year and our community has opined on this many times

• Target Camp Experience Distribution – as always, the camp will consist of a mix of returning Miki Beacher’s and totally new campers to Miki Beach.  We feel as though it’s tremendously important to have new people, with fresh ideas and perspectives in our camp.  We will be targeting roughly 65% of returners and 35% new campers

• Participation – with the above in mind, we do value those who have historically participated and are truly part of our community.  For those who have camped with us before, we will prioritize those who have been more active members of our community

• New will prioritize targeting approximately 35% of the camp with people who have never camped at Miki Beach before (and many of them who have never been to Burning Man)

• Core Community Member Opinions – whether you’ve camped at Miki before or not, the opinion and recommendations of our core community members are the most valuable resource we have for making decisions.  Our core community are those who have historically taken leadership roles or been very active members.  They are the ones who plan, build, and strike our camp. We will prioritize the people that our core community members need and recommend for the camp

• RVs – as in prior years, everyone within an RV needs to be accepted into the camp.  We really don’t want to be telling you who should or shouldn’t be in your RV, so we will try to work with you in this regard.  Tents, yurts, etc are always easier to accommodate.

• On a related note, in addition to having individual camp dues this year, we are also going to have an RV charge (per RV and not per person) to hopefully minimize the number of RVs, while also raising much needed funds for the camp.  The amount isn’t finalized yet, but somewhere in the $400 ballpark (again per RV and not per person)

• Your Membership Recommendations – for those existing community members wishing to recommend new campers to Miki Beach, please be mindful of how many people you want to recommend and push to be in our camp

 

We very much appreciate you taking the time to read the above fully and carefully.  In the event that you did read it all and have further questions, feel free to reach out via email at membership@mikibeach.org.  But also please be patient with those inquiries. 

 

Looking forward to seeing you all in the dust.  The Man will burn soon!

And as always, in the meantime, don’t do too much!!
