Placement Team

Lead - Old Man Dale
placement@euphoriaburn.com

There’s no question everyone and every camp wants their favorite spot.  We do our best to make that happen for as many as possible, while also striving to plan a balanced city that not only works, but enables you to make the most of your participation!

Currently, placement team is working very hard behind the scenes to make sure that our systems are in place and ready to go for your placement registration needs and questions. We place theme camps on a map after the registration deadline, which helps get us ready for the burn. In other words, all camps who register on time will be given equal consideration for placement.
