No Boundaries Camper Roles

Contribution

Contribution is a vital part Burning Man and a vital part of our camp. To create a better experience is to have a better experience. This is not another Bonnaroo, Coachella, or EDC. Do not expect days of entertainment happen to you, but know that it will happen with you.

Every year, world class talent and creativity of artistic engineering gather on the playa, not as a showcase of the ability of the creators, but as a hope of improving someone else’s experience.

The magic of Burning Man is not that the art and the exhibitions are present, but that someone, somewhere, spent years of their life in order to inspire you and make you happy, for just a moment.

The magic of Burning Man is not that people from all walks of life are present, but that they are first to impart their hard-earned years of experience, wisdom, and wit, with no expectation.

The magic of Burning Man is that it is a place to participate, not attend.

It takes many, many hours of work to create a successful camp, and it cannot be accomplished without the support of everyone involved. In order to better your own experience, you must better everyone else’s experience.

As John F. Kennedy famously said,

“… ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
