_____Burner Skool____
Presentations might include: Intro to BM 101 - about BM & general event flow, Packing/What to bring (where to find online resources), Self-Care, Volunteer Opportunities, Costuming, Transportation (to & from + on playa), Arrival & Exodus, Theme camps (registered vs non-registered, how to find a place to live), The Temple, Rangers, The Law, Safety, Boundaries, Playa structures (from tents to domes to art /artcars), Playa bike prep & maintenance, etc.

Once skool is out & we've all had snacks/potluck, students will join in & get a chance to mingle, make connections & ask more questions!

If your theme camp is looking for people to join, this would be the place to recruit!

:::Wanted: STUDENTS to attend Burner Skool:::
Whether you are a newbie or have been to the playa before, there are so many things to learn from each other. PLEASE arrive as early as possible, as it's not possible to backtrack to the basics an hour into the class.

:::Needed: TEACHERS:::
Is there an area that you feel you know lots about that you could teach other people? We are looking for a few key speakers to introduce the basics f BM, and share playa wisdom.

We could set a bit of a structure & then allow time for questions after each section.

See you there!
