Theme camp planner for Burning Man and regional burns

Run the whole camp from one place

Shifts, meals, program and dues, all reading one roster. Less spreadsheet, more burn.

Free to create your camp.

How it works

Set up in an evening

Step 1
Start your camp

The theme-camp template already knows about build, burn week and strike.

Step 2
Send the joining link

Campmates fill in their own diet, arrival, skills and contacts.

Step 3
Watch it fill

Shifts claimed, meals counted, dues marked paid. Nobody reminds.

The idea

Say it once. It appears everywhere.

Arrives for build

Filled in once, by them.

Build-week meals include him

He claims two gate shifts, and coverage updates

His dues appear on the list, paid or not

Who it's for

Built for camps like yours

Theme camps

Twenty people or two hundred, at a regional, Nowhere, or the playa itself.

Camps inside a bigger burn

Your program feeds the burn's timetable by itself. Their dates and words come down to you.

First-time leads

You inherited the camp and its twenty tabs. Start from a template that knows what a camp needs.

Right now it's a sheet with twenty tabs, three Forms, and a WhatsApp thread nobody can search.

Someone becomes the human database, retyping the same names into the shift schedule, the meal plan and the dues list. That person gives up. It's how camps lose good leads.

Today Twenty tabs, Three Forms, The WhatsApp thread, Splitwise and a cash box, Last year's lead's memory all route through one person. With Burnbase, everyone reads and updates the same shared base.

Creating and collaborating is the point.

The admin shouldn't be what people remember.

Why it's different

One place, and it isn't a spreadsheet

The whole camp in one place

Roster, shifts, meals, program and dues, agreeing with each other, readable by every camper. Nobody has to ask the lead.

And it isn't a spreadsheet

Twenty tabs make one owner and thirty spectators. When everyone holds their own piece, the lead is no longer the only route, and camp gets fun again.

1
Say it once

A camper lists a nut allergy once. The kitchen knows. The shopping list knows. Nobody retypes it.

2
The money adds itself up

The camp fee, the bar fund, who's owed for the generator: one ledger. Money goes to the account of whoever asked for it, never Burnbase's.

3
It survives the handoff

When this year's lead leaves, the camp doesn't go with their Google Drive.

What it costs

One number, no tiers

Free

To create your event

Sign in, set it up and invite everyone. Nothing to pay until money is collected.

Free

Every module, for everyone

Shifts, food, program, payments, budget and the rest. No tiers, no seat counts, no trial that expires.

1%

Of any event fees, camp dues or bank transfers

That is the whole price. On a €200 camp fee it comes to €2 a person.

One percent is the only thing that funds building it. For every module your camp uses, that is a small price, and it is the same however your members pay.

Details on the pricing page.

Why now

A camp can't change how it runs in August.

Set it up in the calm weeks, and early camps help decide what gets built.

Questions

Asked before starting

Set the camp fee once and it lands on everyone's checklist. Members mark what they paid, a lead confirms it, and the list shows who still owes. No money moves through Burnbase yet.

Add shifts with a day, a time and how many people each needs. Campmates claim their own, and you see the gaps fill. Effort points are there if your camp uses them.

Yes. Everyone enters their diet and allergies once, meals are scaled to the real headcount, and the kitchen works from one shopping list.

Creating your camp and every module is free. The one charge is 1% of camp fees and dues.
