KURENIVKAApply for 2027
Kurenivka’s tenth year, and its last burn. There are 70 places in camp. Some campers also join the Build Crew, arriving from August 21 to raise the camp and staying until September 7 to take it down.
Applying takes two steps. First, a short form. Then a short video about yourself, a Telegram or Instagram video message, sent to us wherever is easier for you. Everything else we learn from the video.
Kurenivka is a camp, not a service: everyone supports it with money, through the camp budget, and with their own time on the playa.
Do I need to have been to Burning Man before?
No. In 2017 almost everyone in Kurenivka was going for the first time. Experienced campers help first-timers get ready.
Do I already need a ticket?
No. If you need one, tick the box in the form: we help campers get tickets through the camp's quota.
Where will I sleep?
In your own tent or RV. We don't provide them, but we help you figure out what to bring and where to rent. Every tent and RV gets power around the clock.
What will I do in camp?
Live the burn, and take at least two shifts: one on Blue Bull and one in camp. The whole camp has dinner together every day at 5 pm.
Which languages are spoken?
Ukrainian, English, Russian and others. The camp is international, with Ukrainian roots.
How much is the camp fee?
From $2,500. It goes into the camp budget: power, water, showers, shared dinners and Blue Bull. The Build Crew pays a reduced fee, and a limited number of low-income places are available. Just ask.
Is this a paid service or a tour?
No. Kurenivka is a camp, not a service: everyone supports it with money, through the camp budget, and with their own time on the playa.
What happens after I apply?
You send us a short video message on Telegram or Instagram. We watch every video and reply to everyone.
