OUR BEDTIME STORY (THUS FAR)The Deviant Playground was born in April 2007 to two very proud parents, Kel & Naked Mike. They were unsure whether their little DP would walk on its own or fall flat, but it proved to be a huge success at Burning Man 2007. DP Camp received the honor of plaza placement and kept the inhabitants of the 4:30 plaza well hydrated with spiked lemonade and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.What started out as a fun little theme camp has turned into a tight group of friends who find excuses to gather every couple of months or so. Since returning from BM07, our camp has come together for a variety of events. We had a camp dinner in October with real silverware and chairs! The following day, most of the group came together for a Halloween Seizure party where we all giggled and drank the night away. We did New Year’s in Bisbee followed by participation in the 2008 Phoenix Idiot-a-rod (we were disqualified but it was highway robbery). Just recently we returned from a retreat in snowy Colorado where we planned our strategy for BM08, threw a surprise birthday party, and consumed massive amounts of macaroni and alcohol. Our goal as a camp is to create an environment where adults can unleash the creativity and playfulness we all possessed as children. Childhood whimsy can be difficult to find once you reach the big bad world so we decided to create a place where you can rediscover the joys of being free-thinking, free-willed, and of age to consume spirit-enhanced bug juice.
