Why Join Rumi’s for Burn?

• A Rich, Decade‑Long Tradition
  Since 2015, we’ve grown into a beloved theme camp, welcoming up to 80 campers annually from a vibrant network of nearly 300 former members

• Tea, Poetry & Connection
  As our name implies—blending reverence for the poet Rumi with the warmth of “roomies”—we offer a restorative retreat filled with iced‑tea, poetry readings, music, and playafun activities

• Diverse & Welcoming
  Our camp spans ages 22 to 71, with members from varied backgrounds, orientations, and Burner experiences—newcomers and veterans alike unite in community and joy

• Grounded in Principles + Consent as the 11th
  We uphold Burning Man’s 10 Principles—and go further by centering Consent in all interactions. Sustainability, service, and safety—our “3 S’s”—shape everything we do

• Shared Responsibility, Shared Rewards
  Rumi’s is no plug‑and‑play camp. Every camp member contributes labor, though dues remain lower than most due to our tight‑knit structure. We foster trust and autonomy—no megaphones, just mutual commitment

• Community Extensions
  Many of us give back—volunteering with Zendo or Black Rock City Rangers—spreading compassion beyond camp boundaries

• Real Camp Comforts
  Expect a cool tea lounge under shade, communal meals, water, showers, a shared kitchen, and a sanctuary to rest and connect

• Legally Sound & Inclusive
  Rumi’s Tea House operates as a 501(c)(7) nonprofit, adhering to decommodification, non‑discrimination, and collective governance under U.S. law
