Our theme camp communicates private things in a google group, while we open up the process of community to the rest of Tribe right here, and pick up good mojo from people outside the camp...helpful tips and ideas, too. I'm just not too thrilled about the interface with google. Just a preference thing, I guess....** shrugs**

Yahoo groups are great for organizing a regional burn, and I think it'd also be good for a Theme Camp.

The whole point of it all from my wierd-assed perspective is that planning a burn, a theme camp, or an event is just like playing a good team sport. You've GOT to keep the chatter going. Don't hold in what you're thinking. Just as in the sport of football you clue your wide receiver in that the free safety is in a particular neighborhood of the field, you suggest to others ideas about ANYTHING.

My theme camp has had 'rolling provisioning' for the people who have early arrival. Say they forget something. They get on the phone and call others in the camp list to bring it to them. Last year, I brought in an extra Rubbermaid garbage can, a shovel, and a pair of toothbrushes. (I can't tell you the wierd and depraved acts committed with any of the three items - camp secret!)
