A summer South Bay Burner Picnic has become a tradition for the past several years. We’ve called it the BBQ-A-Newbie picnic, and it’s certainly a way for virgins to get some playa orientation.    This is a get-together is for the entire community, and we’re continuing the “Theme Camp Speed Dating” activity this year.  No, it’s not about finding a hook-up hottie for the playa; the idea is to have many of our 60 South Bay Theme Camps (www.southbayburners.org/sbb-theme-camps/) talk to the newbies and match up campers with the type of playa camp that most appeals to them.

If your Theme-camp is accepting newbies, we’d love for you or a representative from your camp to pARTicipate!  Fill out the Volunteer form or contact us directly.

We also will host Costume Exchange (give a second life to your favorite playawear) and Camping Equipment Exchange (old coolers, outgrown tents, things you don’t use anymore because you’ve upgraded).

WHAT TO BRING: 

– Something to grill or feed 3-4 people
– Loved-it-but-over-it playawear for the Costume Exchange
– Gently used camping equipment for the Equipment Exchange
– Info about your Theme Camp to share with the newbies

VOLUNTEER/pARTricipate:

This year’s activities includes:

• Newbie Survival guide: Two 30-min workshops for newbies on the tried-and-true survival tips to prepare for the desert

• Camping Equipment Exchange & Costume X-Change: Newbies found coolers, tents, chairs & loads of costumes to take home!
