What do I need to bring?

Individual Responsibilities:

Contributions to evening Community meal Sunday through Friday (one main dish each night and side dishes).

Personal mess kit (plate, bowl, cup, silverware) and of course Hunger.

Community Meals: The idea behind the Community meal @ 6:00pm each day is so that at least once per day we are all in the same place to discuss Camp business, share BM experiences and the like.

The MAIN dish of this meal is a DONATED meal cooked by a volunteer or group of volunteers. Planning should be made to make enough of this MAIN dish to accommodate all of the PolyParadise camp members.

Other PP campers are ENCOURAGED to contribute a side dish for any, all or some of the Main Meals that have be spoken for. That way each day all of us get to have a chance at being a Gourmet Chef, while secretly adding our special ingredients. Of course mine is PLAYA DUST!!!

Remember Playa Dust is a condiment, goes well with everything.

What is Expected of me in camping with PolyParadise?

Required to bring 2 Gallons of Water to contribute to the running of the Human Carcass Wash.

Required to bring 5 Gallons of Water to contribute to Community Drinking water.

Follow the LEAVE NO TRACE rule of BM, and coordinate with the TRASH CZAR prior to leaving the event and our campsite looking for and picking up MOOP (Matter Out of Place)

Each camp member is expected to take some Community Trash home with them and to dispose of it in the proper manner in an appropriate facility or container when you return to your respective home locations.

Don't depend on your neighbors to clean up after you.
