Despite the geographical, spiritual, and people challenges of building a large
camp, we created some real playa magic out there. The debut of the
Saraswati Tea House was a triumph. The Crystal Cavern’s Tuesday
night performance raised the bar to a whole new level. Café
Kona’s addition of the giant latte and espresso machine added new ways to
revitalize participants. Our artwork and stickers are appreciated
everywhere. <o:p></o:p></span></font></i></b></p>

Funding the camp has always been a real challenge, but we did the best job in
our seven-year history with our budget in 2011 with only a small overall loss.
Historically, camp dues have never covered more than 30% of total
cash outlays. Special thanks to our donors and all of you who paid camp dues
that generated the needed cash for putting it all together and making it
happen.<br>
<br>
While some camps have ultra efficient paid professional set-up teams (and
six-digit camp budgets), our volunteer crew rose to the occasion. As anyone who
has worked Build Week knows, there’s a lot of hard work in the hot sun
and during cold nights, and not everything ever goes completely according to
the hopes and plans. Take down is usually even more challenging, as a
huge amount of work has to be done in very little time. In complete
contrast to 2010, where eight of our take-down crew bailed leaving Phoenix,
Fallout, Angelica, and Twilight to load and dispatch over 60,000 pounds of gear
during two around-the-clock days of white-out (thank you forever for those
best-forgotten hours), the 2011 take down was the best ever in terms of many
people participating and making it happen. Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></b></p>

we didn’t quite clean everything up the way we should have, and we ended

from all of you about the camp experience has been overwhelmingly

to Black Rock City, we managed to have fun and welcomed many hundreds of
