...is Helioz?We're a theme camp. We come to provide to the playa, not to be provided for. We are united in this objective, and we all work together to achieve our goals.We are a group of approximately 40 campers dedicated to enhancing the Burning Man experience. We keep to the 10 Principles of Burning Man.
We build!
We rouse the rabble!
We serve!
We burn!

We're united by a desire to give to the playa, and committed to delivering delight - effectively, efficiently, and cooperatively.
🔋
We are all self-reliant. Everyone is fully prepared to ride out the playa, come what may of wind, dust, or broken kitchen equipment. If we can’t take care of ourselves, we can’t care for others.
