If your theme camp is looking for people to join, this would be the place to recruit!
:::Wanted: STUDENTS to attend Burner Skool:::
Whether you are a newbie or have been to the playa before, there are so many things to learn from each other. PLEASE arrive as early as possible, as it's not possible to backtrack to the basics an hour into the class.
:::Needed: TEACHERS:::
Is there an area that you feel you know lots about that you could teach other people? We are looking for a few key speakers to introduce the basics f BM, and share playa wisdom.
We could set a bit of a structure & then allow time for questions after each section.

Burn in the Forest 2010
Burn in the Forest 2010 - July 16th to 18th:
The Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society's (GVIAS) summer event happens in the forest along the Squamish Valley river surrounded by mountains. This year, as in the past, we will build a temporary community over an extended weekend. Together we create a village and gift each other in many ways that express our creativity and play. Our community is built on the participation of it's members from the simple exchange of food, stories, or a lending hand, to the elaborate construction of an interactive art project. We support the diversity and experimentation of experience and ideas. We will strengthen existing friendships and build new ones, rewarding each other in special ways. We are self-sufficient and leave no trace except in our memories.
Burn in the Forest Information and Tickets are here.
Please read Participation about how you can help create this experience.

History of Burn in the Forest:
Burn in the Forest began in 2002 when a group of loosely organized Burners from Vancouver decided that it was time to create an outdoor camping event, in accordance with the 10 principles of Burning Man. Many people in the community feel this was a magical event, in a magical space, where the community came together with minimal central organization, with everyone participating and helping to create an event like no other
Located on the Squamish River, the old site was a very popular one for outdoor events, and because it was on Crown Land we were able to keep the event free/by donation. Unfortunately, due to overuse and the increasing pressures of human encroachment into natural habitats, in 2005 a young grizzly started to visit the site, and ultimately that is what caused the site to be completely closed to the public.
GVIAS Seeks Candidates for 2010 Event Production
GVIAS Seeks Candidates for 2010 Event Production
GVIAS is seeking candidates to act as producers for our 2010 events, Recompression and Burn in the Forest.
The job previously known as "Producer" is being split into 3 roles: Producer, Technical Director, and Volunteer Coordinator. These 3 roles will work together at a high level to coordinate the event, the team leads and volunteers. These are unpaid volunteer postions which have their own rewards of community leadership and thanks.
