See the whole burn without chasing forty camps

Set the dates, the phases and your burn's words once. Every camp's program lands on one timetable — current because the camps need it themselves.

No sign-up, no email. Free for your burn.

How it works

Set up in an evening

Step 1
Set the frame

Your dates, phases and code of conduct — in your burn's own words.

Step 2
Camps run themselves

Each camp gets its own roster, shifts, program and money.

Step 3
Read across it

Their programs assemble into one burn-wide timetable. No chasing.

The trick

Say it once. It shows up everywhere.

A camp schedules its own sauna workshop
Wednesday 16:00
In their own space
They keep it current

Filled in once, by them.

It lands on the burn-wide timetable

Burners can save it to their week

No form sent, nothing pasted, nobody chased

Who it's for

Built for burns like yours

Regional burn orgs

Forty camps, a handful of volunteers doing this around jobs. The burn-wide view, without a data-collection project.

The central crew

The org is a crew too — its own shifts, budget and people to feed. It gets every module a camp does.

New or growing burns

Set the words and phases your community already uses. Camps inherit them instead of inventing their own.

The what-where-when guide gets assembled by hand, from forty camps' emails, in the last fortnight before gate.

The sheet rots because filling it in was work the camps did for you. Their own program never rots — they need it. Read that instead.

Today The registration sheet, Emailing forty camps, A PDF and an email, The org's budget sheet, Three words for build week all route through one person. With Burnbase, everyone reads and updates the same shared base.

What's inside

What the burn itself gets

The org is also a crew, so it has every module a camp has. These only exist at the burn level.

The burn-wide timetable

Every camp's program on one calendar, assembled from what they run — not what they remembered to submit.

Dates, phases & words

Build, on-site and strike days, and what your burn calls them. Set once, inherited by every camp.

Your burn's profile

Dates, location, code of conduct, FAQ, and the links people always ask for. One page to point at.

Camps & who's in them

A directory the camps keep current themselves. Privacy tiers included — you see camps, not IBANs.

The org's own shifts

Gate, greeters, rangers, build crew — shifts like any camp, with visible coverage.

The org's money

A real budget with actuals, and pots people can chip into.

Volunteers & forms

Your application form for org roles, and forms for anything you need answered burn-wide.

Art grants
Coming soon

Grant rounds for effigies, art cars and installations.

Creating and collaborating is the point.

The admin shouldn't be what people remember.

Why it's different

The whole burn, without the collection project

The whole burn in one place

Every camp, its program, and the org's own shifts and budget — one place to read, not forty sheets to chase.

Not another registration sheet

A sheet rots the week it closes — it was work camps did for you. Their own roster and program stay true, and your view reads those.

1
You don't become their manager

Camps run their own permissions, teams and money. You set the frame and read across it. No seat inside any camp.

2
One camp can start alone

No rollout, nothing to sign. A single camp can start today, and the burn can join later — or the other way round.

What it costs

One number, no tiers

Free

The whole platform

Every module, everyone in your group. No tiers, no seat counts, no trial that runs out.

1%

When money moves through it

Added on top of what you asked for, shown before anyone pays. Your number stays your number.

0%

When it doesn't

Bank transfer, payment link, cash in a tin — record them for free and the books still balance.

Paying through Burnbase is optional. It's also the only thing that funds building it — so if it makes your burn's life easier, using it is how you and your members support the platform.

Why now

Camps build their spreadsheets in spring.

Offer something better first, and the burn-wide picture comes free.

Where it's at

Usable today, honest about the rest

Every module above is built and running in the demo. Payments are the exception: the whole flow is there — fees, destinations, receipts — but no money moves yet. Next up includes importing your existing spreadsheet, so a group that runs on one today can switch in minutes rather than evenings.
