How does this work?
Prior to the burn we’ll send out a printable burner passport for attendees via a google drive download.
Attendees are encouraged to print and assemble their burner passport prior to arriving on-site. DIY instructions will be included in the download.
After assembling this burner passport, it is then used for collecting stamps (or stickers) from participating theme camps.
How do I get a theme camp stamp for my Interfuse burner passport?
Participating theme camps may (or may not) require an activity in order to receive a theme camp stamp for your burner passport. It’s that simple.
This is a great way to make new friends and interact with other camps.. Sign up today!

Tick born Disease Prevention
Understanding a little about tick behavior can give some clues on how to avoid being bitten. For example, one tried-and-true prevention measure is to avoid overhanging brush and tall grass. This is effective because of the way some ticks seek a host, which is called “questing.” A questing tick will perch itself, front legs extended, on the stems of grass, low brush or on the edges of leaves on the ground. Using this ambush strategy, the tick waits until a suitable host brushes against the vegetation.
Ticks do not jump, fall or fly and are generally found within three feet of the ground. Carbon dioxide, which is exhaled while breathing, as well as heat and movement serve as stimuli for tick questing behavior. Using an insect repellant that contains DEET on your skin protects you because it interferes with ticks’ ability to locate you. Another repellant called permethrin, which is used on clothing, actually kills ticks (as well as mosquitoes and chiggers). Permethrin products are designed to bind with fabric and persist through launderings when used according to label directions.
Once on a host, the tick seeks a place to attach and take a blood meal. Ticks attach on people in many places, but are most frequently found around the head, neck, underarms, and groin. Light-colored clothing helps you spot ticks more easily and tucking or even taping your pant legs into your socks helps slow them down in their quest for your skin. Prompt, careful inspection and removal of ticks is an important method of preventing disease.
If you find an attached tick, it should be removed promptly. The longer it is attached the greater the risk of infection. There are many “old wives tales” about how to remove a tick. However, to reduce the chance of disease transmission correctly using tweezers or commercial tick removal tools is preferred. The key to using tweezers correctly is to position the tips of tweezers around the area where the tick’s mouthparts enter the skin. Then use a slow, steady motion when pulling the tick a way from the skin. After removing the tick, disinfect the skin with soap and water, or other available disinfectants.
