CAMP FORM: Interactivity Description (6000 characters max)

• this text is from 2014... needs updating

Super Friends Synaesthesia strives to be a welcoming place to connect with others, share ideas, learn new skills, relax, and enjoy the Burn. We encourage Black Rock denizens to wander into our ‘always open’ Super Space and we will treat them as our Super Friends.

During the day, people can relax in our shaded pillow-pools (which are also super cozy at night) or bounce on the trampoline. In the evening our burn barrel is a Super snuggly place.

The physical layout provides a shaded, open space for learning and assorted silliness. We hope to become a hub of playa education with workshops such as: Head, Neck and Face Massage, Convert Your Camp to Solar Power, Intro to LEDs and Microcontrollers, Pipe Cleaner Hat Making, How to Chain Weave a T-Shirt, Intro to CAPS and Flowers Theory for Poi and Doubles, How to Bring Your Art to the Playa and more.

Other various shenanigans include Drive-Thru Dry Cleaning, Airbrush Body Painting, Jewish Mother Advice, Sharpie Tattoos, Henna Tattoos, Pampered Naptime and Gypsy Circus Music Hour.

CAMP FORM: Acculturation (2500 characters max)

The BEST way to do this is to show by example. Our camp is meant to exemplify the principles of immediacy, participation, radical inclusion, leave no trace and gifting. Our members will help those who seem lost or who haven't grasped the principles, spread the word of LNT, and demonstrate that this wonderful city exists only because of its residents and their efforts. Our camp will also be a workshop and skill-sharing hub, with several workshops that focus specifically on burner-relevant topics such as How to Convert Your Camp to Solar. Beyond that, our members include multiple playa artists, several long-time burners (7-15 years) and Greeters!

Super Friends Synaesthesia has a main shade structure in white that billows beautifully with the wind. The front portion of the structure is open-public shade where we will have 3 extra large inflatable pools filled with pillows and blankets. The remaining back portion of the shade is cover for our personal dining room. Between these public and private areas are vertical fabric panels, which create an unobtrusive visual barrier to minimize unsolicited guests in the private areas. Additional shade walls stretch out from the sides of our big shade structure to create a visually interesting slope and provide shade from the sun on the horizon.

A fanciful Super Friends mailbox, lit up Synaesthesia sign, event chalkboard, bike rack, and color changing stake lights will be posted along the front of the camp. Additional signage will indicate that we are the crew for Inspireality Palace.

A large trampoline sits just outside our shade on one side, with our burn barrel lounge (burn barrel and 3 large benches) on the other.

A private camp kitchen will be setup under 10x20 shade, where all coolers and prep areas live, including a three stage washing system. In the back, we sort all of our recyclables as we go into plastic, metal, recycle camp cans, glass, compost and trash (trash is always the smallest in the end). To one side of the public area, several adjoining carport shade structures will house additional tents and kitchen space. One side of the perimeter will be lined with vehicles and a motorhome.

A large solar array will be setup in the rear of the camp providing ample power to our sound system and warm LED atmosphere lighting. Two showers are setup adjacent to a large evap pond.

Billowing white fabric surrounds our waterless pillow pools where the tired burner can take an afternoon nap. Learn new skills at one of our daytime workshops or groove to some tunes. SuperFriends Synaesthesia is also the home base for the artists and crew of Inspireality Palace, a deep-playa, large-scale art piece. My hand is holding your hand, but we're such Super Friends, you feel my hand on your heart. Or in your brain.

CAMP FORM: Alternative Power (1000 characters max)

Much of the camp is run off solar power. The main power source is a 1.5 kilowatt solar array and a battery bank, providing us with enough power for; camp lighting and recharging station for portable electronics/small batteries. We run a 12-volt power grid with timed light switches & motion sensors to prevent wasting energy. Lighting sources include: low-watt LED lamps, numerous solar stake lights (color changing!), and hundreds of LEDs string lights.
