TLP is generally an 18+ camp, with our camper ages typically in the 25 - 70+ range.

TLP has been a camp since 2001, and have been on the Esplanade consistently for over five years; close to the action!

We can accommodate RVs, trailers, yurts, tents, Shift Pods, plus shade structures. There is power and RV pump outs available (at an additional fee depending on when you register, and availability).

We provide breakfast & dinner, drinking water, group shade for eating under, a camp shower, eating tent, tables & chairs, a full kitchen, and a host cafe and cuddle puddle for guests. No porta-potties.

All campers participate in 5 volunteer shifts to make the camp run. This includes one cooking shift, one clean up shift, one build or tear down shift, one front of house shift, and one other selection.

Dues are $385 USD per Penguin.

Camp membership is capped around 120.

Registration is first come, first served.

You do not need a ticket to Burning Man to register for The Lost Penguins, but you are responsible for locating your own ticket. We may have limited Steward tickets to allocate to penguins who can arrive early for build and stay late (one day after Labor Day) to tear down. Remember, being on the Build team and receiving a Steward Ticket guarantees you early entry into the event.

If applicable, camp dues are refundable until July 31.

We prefer new Penguins who are referred (sponsored) by a current or former Penguin. If you are unsponsored person, you may still apply. Contact us to know more.

Please ensure that the email you register with is the same email you will use for the Burning Man profile page. 

We primarily communicate via Slack or Google Chat between February and August.
