Join Trickster Camp for Radical Freedom at Burning Man

We dream of building Trickster not just to add another camp to Burning Man. Trickster is an invitation—an invitation for those who are tired of the masks society forces us to wear. In the day, we conform—whether it’s at work, in social situations, or following the rules of a world that often feels too small for our true selves. But at night, something different happens. The masks come off, and we become who we truly are.

The Freedom of the Night

In the depth of the night, beneath a sky that knows no boundaries, we find our freedom. The darkness becomes a sanctuary, a place where the constraints of daylight fall away, and we are left with nothing but our unfiltered selves. Here, we dance in the shadows, laugh without restraint, and embrace the wildness that lives within each of us. The stars above, the glow of Mars—they are our witnesses as we shed the weight of expectations and come alive. The night has a way of peeling back the layers, stripping away the superficial, and allowing us to feel the pulse of who we are—untamed and unapologetic.

Trickster is not just an idea for a camp; it is a declaration. It is for those brave enough to embrace this duality. It’s for those who realize that life is too short to live a lie, that the night offers a rare freedom where we can be our truest selves. If you’ve ever felt stifled by the constraints of daily life, if you long for a space where you can truly be you, then Trickster is where you belong. And you are welcome. This is a place for the dreamers, the misfits, the ones who feel most alive when the world sleeps. We are those who understand that there is a different rhythm at night, a rhythm that calls to us, urging us to step out of the ordinary and into something extraordinary.

Building Dreams, Testing Courage

We dream of building this for the moments that will test our courage, for the mornings that remind us of who we are, and for the fires that push us to live without limits. The magic of Trickster isn’t found in grand performances or flashy displays—it’s in the raw connections, the shared laughter, the understanding that we are all here because we refuse to settle for anything less than what makes us feel alive. It’s in the quiet conversations held under the stars, the spontaneous dances around the fire, the recognition in each other’s eyes that we are all searching for something real. Here, under the boundless sky, we find the space to breathe, to shed the weight of expectations, and to be vulnerable without fear.

A Place for Every Spark

You, too, carry a spark within—a flame that is waiting to burn bright. Trickster will be the place where that flame is welcomed, where every contribution, no matter how big or small, adds to the collective fire that keeps us warm, that keeps us alive. Whether you paint, write, build, or simply live boldly, there is a place for you here. We dream of a community that thrives not on spectacle, but on authenticity—a gathering where every voice adds depth to the symphony of freedom. Every spark matters, every story adds to the mosaic of what Trickster represents. It is not about fitting in; it is about standing out, shining in the darkness, and knowing that here, your light is seen and celebrated.

The Fire That Connects Us

When the night falls, we dream of gathering. We sit by the fire, share our stories, our hopes, our fears. The fire is more than warmth—it’s a reminder that we are never alone in our quest for authenticity. It symbolizes our commitment to keep pushing forward, to keep redefining what it means to live without fear, without masks, without limits. We gather not just to celebrate the night, but to honor the parts of ourselves that often remain hidden in the daylight. The fire crackles with our laughter, our whispered secrets, our silent nods of understanding. It is the sound of a community that knows the value of truth and the beauty of shared vulnerability.

An Invitation to the Bold

If you’re ready to take that step—if you’re tired of pretending and ready to face the night, to celebrate it, to bask in its mystery—then Trickster is waiting to be built, and it’s waiting for you. We don’t need spectators; we need kindred spirits who want to breathe life into the dream, who want to dance with the darkness and shine. The night is long, the fire is burning, and there’s a place here for those who are brave enough to join. In Night We Trust—not as a motto, but as a promise to ourselves. Let’s take that journey together. Let’s dream of building something that defies the ordinary, that lives in the stories we’ll tell long after the flames have died down. Let’s build a place where we are not just surviving, but thriving—together, free, and unmasked.
