Theme Camps at RR

What Is A Theme Camp?

A theme camp is a camp or collection of camps that centers itself around offering an interactive experience to its visitors. Theme camps are generally centered around a theme. Themes that work best are simple ones that revolve around a simple concept that is easily understandable by everyone or that provides an activity or service that people easily understand. Theme camps should provide a visual ambiance and communal activity space.

Theme camps can offer a wider range of ambiance and activity. Depending on attendance, electric and water utilities may or may not be provided at camp locations. To help you get a location you require, you are encouraged to register your theme camp prior to the event. Registering your camp will also allow Recycled Rainbow to include your camp in the guide that will be available at the gate for arriving participants.

Theme camps need not be restricted to the public area only. The deepcycle dome theme camp, for instance last year was to be located in the wilderness area and to provide a dance club and tea house completely powered off renewable energy resources for those wishing to make the hike to the far reaches of the grounds.

Theme camps are required to follow the same guidelines as everyone else, they are required to pack out everything they pack in and are responsible for any structures they build.

Theme Camps At Mutation:

(in alphabetical order)

Camp 362

We will provide the Inner Circle Bar, home for red light, electrical weirdness, and a tavern that mutates, possibly making people barf, but that’s just a risk we’re willing to take.

Camp Pancake

Tired of the same old hum drum flapjacks? Well come on over as Camp Pancake will be serving delectable griddle things in a variety of manners.

Check your local listing for special events such as the bananas foster demo and maybe a little flambe!

Camp SCIENCE!

Radio transmission and reception. Homebrewed electronic musical instruments and circuit-bending. Green electricity from the Sun and the wind. Lasers. All these things and more will be found at Camp SCIENCE!. Camp SCIENCE! will feature demonstrations, workshops, and musical interludes at various times throughout the event.

An earth-shattering realm of three walls, psy-trance insanity, tasty glowing paint, and psych-out lights. Prepare yourself for Cyberdelic!

Demon Town

A celebration of demons, DJ’s, noise rock and the not-so-bad vibe.

Wow! 2 - count ‘em - 2 camps in 1!
This will be the base camp for the Earth Guardians as well as an acoustic jam space.

Protect the Earth to the sound of spontaneous music.
Life is sweet!

Laura Red’s Open Paint

5 or 6 blank canvases, a couple of brushes, and alot of paint = fun for anyone that comes along. Basically, anyone (yes, even you) can come over to this camp, pick up a paintbrush, and go to town however much or little you like. When you don’t want to paint anymore, just put the brush down and be on your merry way.

As the day goes on, the paintings will mutate as more people come and add to them. I’ll be taking pictures of these phases by the hour, and then when I get home I’ll upload the photos as sort of a “flip book”.

Mind Control Cookie Camp

As part of the Mutant Food and Beverage Service, Mind Control Cookie Camp will be providing delicious freshly-baked cookies and other sweet treats at various times throughout Recycled Rainbow. Baked with lots of love and a secret mind control recipe (nothing illegal), our cookies will revive and awaken the curious creative inner-child and rinse out the systematic brainwash of the machine we all live within. Check the on-site schedule to find out the best times to get your cookie fix.

Rising From the Ashes - the Phoenix Project Prayer Tent

This will be a camp where people can explore the spiritual side of recycled rainbow through prayer and celebration. We will be providing opportunities for people to pray through art, music, sound, and silence (earplugs provided). Throughout the event we will be encouraging people to take some time to rest and relax in the spirit of the event. We will also be providing a place where people can take a break from the intensity with a bowl of soup or a hot cup of coffee.

We will be exploring a variety of prayer forms from a variety of traditions - including making mandalas and prayer chains, chanting and meditation, keening, global and local prayer concerns, and even personal prayers with an ordained minister (that’s me, Meredith).

This camp is not intended to evangelize any particular faith tradition, it is our goal to enhance the spirituality of the event by offering a place for people to engage the spirit with intentionality and creativity.

Temple of Bokor

Belly Dancing Zombies and a pirate or two:-)

The Java Hut

Jonesing for the java? Come on in and get your fix. Want to sit and relax with a cup of tea? We’ll have chairs and cushons and art and magazines. Want to shake the chill of the night? Hot chocolate should do the trick. Stop by and enjoy a steaming hot drink.
