The last chapter

Ten years of Kurenivka

The idea of 2027 is the anniversary itself: ten years of Kurenivka, and the last chapter of this story.

Everything that made the camp will be there one more time. Art. Blue Bull. Seventy people. Khrinovukha, the horseradish vodka. A lounge in camp that is open to everyone. And a Ukrainian Night on the playa.

It is a way to close the gestalt for everyone who always wanted to go with Kurenivka and kept putting it off. This is the last chance to do it.

Life in camp

What the camp gives, and what it asks

Kurenivka is a camp, not a service. We don’t sell package tours. Every camper supports the camp financially, through the fundraising and the camp budget, and with their own time on the playa. You can also give time to the preparation before the burn.

Here is what the camp has, and what everyone shares.

International, with Ukrainian rootsCampers come from all over the world, and the camp is built on Ukrainian roots and Ukrainian culture. Ukrainian, English, Russian and other languages are spoken in camp.
TicketsWe help campers buy Burning Man tickets through the camp's quota.
Camp feeFrom $2,500. A reduced fee for the Build Crew. A limited number of low-income places.
Dinner togetherEvery day at 5 pm, the whole camp at one table.
Blue BullRides together on the art car.
ShiftsAt least two per person for the burn: one on Blue Bull, one in camp.
Power around the clockEvery RV and tent is plugged in, air conditioning included.
InternetWi-Fi in camp.
ShowersShowers in camp.
Water and wasteGreywater management, RV water refill and dumping, and central trash disposal.
FridgesCampers in tents can bring their own food and keep it in the camp fridges.
ParkingA parking spot for your car.
LogisticsHelp and advice on getting there and getting your gear in.
HousingTents or RVs. We don't provide them, but we help you figure out what to bring and where to rent.

When the spell breaks

An indefinite pause

After that, Kurenivka goes on an indefinite pause. Not because we’re tired, but because ten years is a complete story, and we want to end this chapter at its best.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of it, this is the year.
