Interfuse Theme Camp Stamp Exchange
✴︎
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!
And now, a word from our Medic Lead
“Hey ya’ll Kandi your friendly Medic lead here with a couple things regarding Covid.
While I’m not your mother and I can’t tell you what to do the Medic team strongly suggests that you still test for Covid before and after the event
Free tests are still available until May 11th at the following link
(Medics will be happy to take any tests you would like to gift on site)
We also recommend that you take precautions and do what you can to keep everyone healthy. Simple things like:
- washing/sanitizing your hands
- wearing a mask (especially around younger and older folks)
- keeping distance when in large groups
- keeping surfaces sanitized
- staying home if you have symptoms or test positive
We plan to have masks and sanitizer available at Medic hq for anyone who needs them.
The goal is to have a safe and happy burn for everyone. If you have any questions regarding Covid safety feel free to reach out to me. F*ck yer burn”

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.

FIRE DANCERS
- Bring a safety to this party! Have them ALSO sign up on the volunteer signup page to get 3 hours of volunteer credit (link below)
- Consider bringing an offering of fuel to the communal fuel depot Saturday before the procession. If you have special fuel preferences beyond white gas be sure to bring your own well marked fuel and dip can.
SAFETIES
- Sign up on the volunteer signup page to get 3 hours of volunteer credit (link in comments). You may opt to do an additional hour with Perimeter for 4hrs total.
- Convince your friends that being a safety is super cool and that they should do it too! Also…Thank you so much, this magic happens because you are willing to hold the line between light and darkness, chaos and order!!
Safety meetings
Friday @ 3pm-4pm
Saturday @3pm-4pm
Location: Concession stand in the field (where the fuel depot usually is) or maybe somewhere smarter like in the tree shade at the edge of the field.
It will be mandatory for both performer and safety to attend ONE meeting to participate in the preburn ceremony! In these meetings we will briefly review safe fire practices, safety techniques, and check our fire tools to ensure they are safe, tight, and right. This is not intended to be a one-stop tool repair shop, so please maintenance your gear before the meeting.Fire breathers, I want to see the bottle you intend to be sippin on.
Preburn Ceremony
show up @ fuel depot 8pm on Burn Night.
As far as the show flow goes, dancers fuel up at the fuel depot then line up at the entrance into the area surrounding the effigy, where lead will be clearing performers to enter the parade of clockwise cycling performers. If any groups want to choreograph please let leads know beforehand so we can include those kinds shenanigans.
Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!
Once again, tell your friends the hottest burners all sign-up at:

Vroom Vrooom MUTANT VEHICLES!
Burns like Interfuse are known to attract creative souls with the ambitions to drastically modify a vehicle – turning them into functional pieces of art that can rove the event. These are the only vehicles allowed to operate during event hours outside volunteer staff carts or official vehicles.
Please let our volunteers know about your Mutant Vehicle in advance by filling out this form.

So over the last few years, a number of burners have invested in recreational vehicles to improve their burn and camping experience. No judgement. However, there are some challenges with the land where Interfuse is hosted. You see, the open field is where most of the sites for parking an RV are located, but we happen to use that field to burn our effigy instead. Leaving scant few good spots for an RV to be placed. As iRonic puts it, “Hey RV people!! We can’t guarantee every RV that makes it on site will find a place to camp* (that could mean YOU). Prepare accordingly.” We will do everything we can to help facilitate your camp being together, but if we have to ask you to put some goliath RV in the parking lot, it’s not personal. It’s because you’ll be the one responsible for hiring a tow truck if you get stuck in the spring muds that are common.
Theme camp registration closes this Sunday!
There are only a few more days left to sign your camp up for placement. We’ll be cutting accepting new submissions this Sunday.
PreBurn
If you wish to perform in the pre-burn ceremony you and your safety need to sign up here.
- On Friday and Saturday we shall have a safety meeting and tool check for both performers and safeties at 3pm. Attendance at one of the meetings AND approval of fire equipment is required for participation in the fire ceremony.
- Each performer must have a safety.
- Safeties who attend BOTH a safety meeting AND ceremony will get 3 hours of volunteer credit. No volunteer credit for fire performers… just glory!
- Safeties please bring a towel you don’t mind getting sooty.
- Choreography is encouraged! If you plan to gift the audience with choreography please let us know at the 3pm safety meeting so we can arrange for timing and placement.
FAST Flame effects
Our Fire Art Safety Team is tasked with making sure that flame effects and burnable art are safe for our participants to be around. Please take the time to fill out this short form to let our FAST team know about your engineering or art you plan to burn.
