Theme Camp

Smoke Signals

Smoke Signals

Welcome to Smoke Signals, in collaboration with Snake Oil Sideshow - an inferno circus where the boundary between reality and the surreal burns away on a playground of sound, fire spinning, giant fire jenga games with a twist of surreal circus.

We are a collaborative fire-themed sound camp pushing the boundary of human experience, on a mission to ignite the spirit of wonder and celebrate the existence of our individualities that define us. Please join us on our journey of co-creation, manifesting ideas with power of intention.
