Help Bring Yellow Balloon to the Playa! A Clean & Sober Camp at Burning Man
We're Yellow Balloon—a clean and sober camp at Burning Man dedicated to creating a vibrant, inclusive space where fun, connection, and recovery come together under the desert sun. Each year, we provide a supportive home for those seeking a different kind of burn: one full of joy, authenticity, and radical self-expression, without the use of substances.

Our camp offers:
* Daily recovery meetings to support those in sobriety or exploring it
* Wellness events like yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness sessions
* Interactive art and community experiences designed to uplift and inspire
* A welcoming community that proves you can have an unforgettable time—sober!
Burning Man can be a powerful, transformative experience, and we believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive in a safe, supportive environment. But bringing our camp to the playa isn’t easy—we need your help to make it happen.
Your donation will go toward:
* Transportation and build materials for our communal spaces
* Shade structures, water, and power needs to keep everyone safe and cool
* Supplies for recovery meetings and wellness events
If you've ever found healing, hope, or just a really good time in a space like Yellow Balloon, or if you believe in supporting inclusive communities at Burning Man, we’d be so grateful for your help. Every dollar brings us one step closer to the dust!
Thank you for supporting Yellow Balloon. Let’s build a playa where joy is sober, community is strong, and everyone is welcome.
With love and gratitude,
The Yellow Balloon Camp
