Flat Tire Cafe is a tight-knit community, adding members primarily by referral. Though you may come in as a new member, we hope you’ll leave with lifelong friends and chosen family.

We keep a very relaxed environment and have most of our interactivity scheduled during the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM, leaving the rest of the time available for our campers to do things together (or solo because alone time is important), explore, and venture out into the vast wilderness of Playa. We schedule each camper for a minimum of 3 work shifts during those hours throughout the week (cafe, bikes, kitchen). We also, of course, have a mandatory MOOP sweep for all campers.

For 2026 Burn, our camp fees are $725 per adult camper. Camp fees are used for showers, shade, water, food, our gifts to playa (coffee and bike repair), as well as transport and storage of our infrastructure.

Flat Tire is a non-profit organization and a full contribution-based camp. The balance of interactivity and respect for each camper's time is paramount. Everyone gets plenty of time to explore, while still contributing in a very meaningful way to our playa gifting and community events. We are a very diverse intergenerational camp with members from all over the world, spanning all ages from kids to senior citizens and middle-aged unicorns. We also pride ourselves on being a very diverse, queer-friendly camp.
