Need an excuse to volunteer?

We love our volunteers. This year we are implementing a new incentive to prove our love- like the buff bad boy in your favorite romance novel about fairies with very large… novels. Ahem. The incentives are as follows…

• Folks who volunteer 4 hours will continue to receive access to purchase a guaranteed ticket before the general sale release.
• Folks who volunteer 8 hours will receive a $10 discount on their 2026 ticket.

Waivers, Volunteer Shifts, and Forms on Volunteeripate!

EVERY SINGLE attendee must sign a waiver before arriving at the gate. Waivers are now available and can be filled out on Volunteeripate after ticket purchase.

The following departments’ volunteer shifts are now available on Volunteeripate:

• DPW
• FAST
• Gate
• Medic
  Required Experience: First Aid Training or Medical Professional
• Parking
• Perimeter
• Ranger
  Required Experience: Ranger Training
  • Note: We are beta testing this training for Lakes of Fire. There may be information specific to that event. There also may be bugs. If folks encounter an error please email star@midwestburners.org.
    The training should take roughly an hour, and there is a save button if users need to leave and return.
• Sanctuary
  Required Experience: Complete Sanctuary Volunteer Application from on Volunteeripate
• Sound Marshalls

The rest of the Volunteer Sign Ups are being added to Volunteeripate. If you do not see your preferred department, give it another 24-72 hours and check again- rinse and repeat as needed.

If you anticipate needing to drive a golf cart, you will need to fill out a golf cart waiver, also found on Volunteeripate.

Event Signups Now Open—FOR APPROVED CAMPS ONLY!

Hey Camp Mayors, it’s go time! If your camp is approved, you can now start adding your events in the Dust app.

Need a quick how-to? Check out the creator’s very detailed instructions. Got questions after that? Shoot us an email at IFIMP@midwestburners.org, and we’ll help you out. We understand that this new process will take some assistance on our end and we’re here to help!

• For music events with a DJ lineup, use the “Music” button—that’s where you can list your DJs and set times.
• For all other events, use the “Event” button.
• Need to update your camp info? Click “Edit” to upload an image, change your camp type, change your camp description, or add more camp admins.

If your camp hasn’t been approved yet, hang tight! you won’t be able to log in just yet. And if you’re hosting an event outside of a camp, event submissions for open spaces will start after camp registration closes. Stay tuned!

Theme Camp Registration Form is available on Volunteeripate until April 6!

Got a big, weird, welcoming space to share? Theme camp submissions are open until April 6th! Whether you’re bringing the beats, the vibes, the snacks, or just a cozy spot to chill, now’s the time to make it official. Register your camp to get placed on the map and be part of the magic!

Art Car or Car Camping?

If you are bringing a mutant vehicle or need a parking pass for car camping, the Vehicle camping registration form and Art car registration form are now live on Volunteeripate.

Tickets from the first drop are still available- get yours today or catch them in the next round on March 23 at noon central!

Ticket Transfers are open. Please note that each Volunteeripate account will only be able to hold ONE ticket per account.
