Center Camp

A shared space to gather, create, and connect. Center Camp is the heart of SideBurn—an open, welcoming space for participants to gather, share, and celebrate community. Whether you’re hosting a workshop, leading a yoga session, sharing food, or just meeting friends to relax, this is your space to make magic happen.

This is a community-powered space.

We’ll have a Bulletin Board where you can share details about your camp or event, a Trading Box for gifting and exchanging items, and a Missed Connections Book to help you reconnect with that friend you met in the dark!

There’s no theme camp behind it—just you, the participants, bringing your ideas and energy. SideBurn provides the infrastructure: shade, lighting, and support in getting the word out. The rest is up to you.
