PolyParadise History - 2025

    Our only source of income to cover the costs of bringing PolyParadise to Black Rock City each year is thru our Camp Fee. In 2025 we established a camping fee of $275/person.

    The total population of the PolyParadise On-Playa was 174 Campers. We thank the Twisted Swan & The Temple of Bacchus for being part of our space; adding in their 60 Campers we had a total of 234 Campers within our borders -  WOW!!!!!

    We had 96 veteran campers return and 78 new campers and of that number 65 were Burning Man VIRGINS. I thank all of the returning campers for making PolyParadise your Playa home, I so depend on each & everyone of you in making our camp an amazing loving space. Thank you to the 64 International campers from (Austria Australia Brazil Canada Chile Egypt France Germany Israel Mauritius Morocco Spain Switzerland Thailand UK)

    We did end 2025 with a positive balance of $600. 

    In 2023 we partnered with the Twisted Swan on a rental of a 26' container from a company in Empire.  This container will allow both PolyParadise & the Twisted Swan to be able to store gear from both camps that do not need to be hauled back to our home locations.

    PolyParadise was able to store 95% of all the EMT Conduit, the shade structure parts (Connectors, Tarps, Canvas Tarps, Cammo, Chairs, Metal Racks).  The container will be stored at the companies yard in Empire and be delivered on-playa in 2026. 

    The cost of this rental spit between the two camps is ~$1,500/year.  We will be making this payment to The Twisted Swan after the New Year for 2026.

    With all of the infrastructure items that need to be replaced - The camp fee for PolyParadise 2026 will be $325/Camper.  That is up $50/camper from 2025.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN COMMUNITY!!!
