Deoxidized FAQ
What does Deoxidized mean?
Diversity, Empowerment, Optimism, and Xeniality—form the pillars of DEOX, guiding our actions, shaping our culture, and defining our contribution to the world!
What is Deoxidized's offering to the playa?
Our camp is a “Global Neighborhood Oasis”, centered around a large, communal lounge area with comfy seating, a shipping container bar, and a big dance floor with capacity for several hundred people - all shaded beneath a beautiful 50' parachute. Visible from afar on a hot and dusty day, the parachute evokes the idea of an actual oasis and beckons weary travelers to stop by for yoga, a workshop....or simply a cold drink.
Our Oasis is always bustling and a great place to connect with friends new and old.
Sunday night we host our Welcome Home Party which is a wild and exciting and incredibly fun night where much of Black Rock City shows up to dance and celebrate being home.
All during the week our bar and dance floor is open every night from 9 until 2, with DJs to shake your groove to.
Each day we host the Soul Series, our gift to the playa of daily talks, classes, and workshops.
What are the camp facilities?
Our non-communal spaces include a bustling kitchen, private portas, cool showers, a soothing steam sauna (clothing optional), and residential spaces.
The HUBS
Deoxidized is part of a local hub with other nearby camps: The Sound Garden, Edna's Oasis, Cohere, Kinky Pizza, Bo-jon and Seadust. HUBS co-locate camps who have partnered to efficiently share resources such as water, power, tools, and transportation, and also to lower their carbon footprint. While each camp operates separately and has their own footprint within the city, we share resources and consider the other camps in our HUB as part of our extended family, and join together for some of our programming through the week.
What do DEOX members need to do?
Every part of our camp is imagined, built, and co-created by our members. You are required to show up for the teams you’ve committed to, ready with the mindset of participation. This includes planning meetings, camp build, running the day-to-day operations, hosting events, and tear-down.
Everyone in the camp is required to participate in either build or break down plus one dinner preparation and between one and three jobs during the week.
We also take LNT seriously and all campers are will need to ensure they are leaving no trace, and picking up all MOOP, not just their own.

What are the 10 Principles?
The 10 Principles are the community ethos for Burning Man, both at Black Rock City and at regionals. Learning the 10 Principles and living them is important for every Deoxidized camp member. We also reinforce the unoficial 11th Principle, Consent.
Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.
Gifting
Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.
Radical Self-reliance
Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources.
Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.
Radical Self-expression
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.
Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.
Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.
Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
