Registration: As a family naturist retreat, Lupin Lodge has certain restrictions and all attendees will be required to register at the gate before admission to the campground (see http://www.lupinlodge.org/rules.html).

Please RSVP to realgirl@southbayburners.org so we can get a headcount prior to the event. Camping fees are collected at the gate to cover expenses for Lupin Lodge. In the interest of keeping admission prices low, the Regional will not be using this event as a fundraiser. No vending is permitted inside.

Weekend fees (per person):

9am Friday – 8pm Sunday (3 days, 2 nights) $75

9am Saturday – 8pm Sunday (2 days, 1 night) $65

All day Sunday, beginning at 9am – 8pm $30

Above rates are for “dry camping” only, RV hookups are an additional $15 per day. There are 17 RV sites and over 100 tent sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, 7 Yurts and a large cabin are available for rental.

Facilities: Lupin offers a swimming pool, 2 hot tubs, a sauna, showers and other recreational amenities including free Wi-Fi. (Bathing suits are prohibited in the pool and hot tubs.) There are restrooms near the pool and the clubhouse; additional porta-potties will be provided based on expected attendance.

Meals: The Lupin Clubhouse Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as beer, wine, juices, espressos and a variety of snacks. Although you may prepare your own meals, they will be preparing buffet-style meals over the weekend as well (vegan options will be available at all the buffets).

Friday night, 6pm-9pm – Pasta dinner $10

Saturday night, 5pm-8pm – BBQ $12

Sunday morning, 8am-11am – Breakfast buffet $ 7

A community kitchen is also available with a stove, microwave, coffeemaker, sink etc. (please leave no trace!) Because of high fire danger in the mountains, no open flames or camp stoves may be used for cooking at tent sites. Cooking in enclosed RVs or vans, or use of the communal BBQ grills is permitted.

Music: A DJ booth (with electricity provided) will be set up near the clubhouse lawn, spinning house, break beats, techno and a variety of burner-friendly music 24x7 for the duration of our event (Friday through Sunday evening). Although there will be no shutoff time for the music, we will need to adhere to legal decibel limits. If you would like to take a DJ shift, please contact our DJ coordinator, Big Mike, or join the regional discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SouthbayBurners.

Fire: Fire performers are encouraged to bring your poi and spin to the music! We will have a designated fuel depot, spin-out procedures, and assigned fire safeties with fire extinguishers in order to ensure fire is contained at all times. If you want to spin, please talk to peaceblossom@sbcglobal.net to review safety procedures.

Art: We will have various EL-wire art installations near the clubhouse and camping areas, and you are welcome to bring more! To pre-register your art and discuss placement, email to peaceblossom@sbcglobal.net. There will also be slideshows and short DVDs playing in the NuDome Yurt throughout the weekend.

Participate: We welcome volunteers to ensure our PreCom is successful. If you have experience working Gate, Greeters, Rangers, Registration, Playa Info, Artery etc. then plug in locally and bring your experience to this event!
