Many answers are found in the Happy Camper Guide and in the Nordic Paradise Handbook.
What does Nordic Paradise “provide” as a camp?
The camp and everything we have and do are created by our members. We get what we provide ourselves, nothing more and nothing less. We aim to create a nice and safe space for all members. It includes:
You will have to engage in the camp, bring your own sleeping arrangement (e.g. tent), bike (there are some you can rent), extra food and water, cup, cutlery and plate, bags for taking care of your personal MOOP and a great spirit.
Where is the application to Nordic Paradise Camp 2024?
You find it in the Member section when you have created a profile and joined Nordic Camp NPO.
What does the camp fee cover?
Members contribute to a shared fund (5000 SEK in 2024), managed by the NPO, covering expenses like food, water, transport, build materials, and energy. Surplus funds roll over to the next year; deficits are equally deducted from members’ deposits (1000 SEK each).
Why a membership fee to the NPO?
A nominal fee of 200 SEK/year sustains the NPO for essential operations like maintaining a membership list, bank account, and website.
Can I apply to the camp without being a member of the NPO
Applicants must join the NPO before applying to the camp. The NPO fee supports camp operations.
How are the memberships in the camp allocated?
Team leads are selected in January, co-leads in February, and allocation of remaining members starts in March-April by the membership team.
Isn’t the application and selection process a violation of “Radical Inclusion”?
While Radical Inclusion is embraced, adherence to Burning Man’s principles and camp policies is required. The camp has a set number of memberships (e.g., 50-60 in 2024) and use interviews before allocation of members where we aim to match camp needs with applicants skills and preference.
