Help us build Stoop City, the concretiest urban jungle on the Playa!

Description

Stoop City is readying up the block party and we want YOU there. We’re hunting for 5 or so self-reliant, delightfully weird humans to join our tight-knit NYC-based family.

Discover the Spirit of Stoop City

We started life as a legendary full-sized Mutant Vehicle buffalo (RIP Kindred Spirit, gone but never forgotten), and our crew has been camping together since 2017. This is our FOURTH year as Stoop City, which makes us practically an institution. We’re coming back bigger, with a central location (presumably near 4:45&D again) and even more energy. From the bustling streets of NYC to the laid-back vibes of Tasmania, our members hail from all over of the globe, and we wear our melting-pot diversity like a badge of honor.

Embrace the NYC Street Culture on the Playa

We drag a slice of NYC’s chaotic, spontaneous street-side magic right into the heart of the dust. Our twin stoops, shade structure, lounge, and bar double as interactive stages AND a world-class peanut gallery. Heckling encouraged, judgment optional. It’s the chillest spot on the block, where old friendships deepen and new ones get forged over questionable decisions. Last year we ran a bar, a DJ, and served midnight ramen to literal hundreds of starving wanderers.

Why Choose Stoop City?

We aren’t a massive camp (25~30 strong) and we prefer it that way. Small enough to actually know your name, big enough to know how to throw a hell of a party. In true NYC spirit, we’ve built a space that turns strangers into the kind of friends that accidentally turn your burn around. Year-round hangs, events, and shenanigans in NYC also keep the Stoop City spirit alive long after the dust settles.

What Stoop City Builds

Most of us are wrangling logistics from NYC or Australia, so we’re very aware of how brutal cross-country (and cross-ocean) burning can be. Camp with us and you’ll have the essentials handled:

• Comfortable shade structure for tents

• Cozy lounging areas

• Ample water and ice supply

• A coordinated grocery run for the group

• Fully equipped kitchen (stoves, cookware, plateware, utensils)

• Fridge, freezer, and coolers

• 24/7 electricity for small devices and eBike charging

• Communal dinners made by campmates daily + self-serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks

• A healthy amount of booze to share

• Shower and grey water disposal

• A bike allotted to you for the duration of the Burn

How You Help Make That Happen

We build this stoop community together, so we’re looking for folks excited to help haul our little slice of the block onto the playa:

• Help with setup and/or breakdown on playa

• A couple of shifts for camp duties (ice runs, MOOP walks, cooking dinner, tending bar, etc.)

• All hands on deck help for our Ramen Night event

• Share any special talents you’ve got (ALWAYS looking for DJs!)

• Bring everything you need for yourself (tent, clothes, goggles, bike, sense of adventure, etc.)

• Embrace the principals, be authentically you, and create an atmosphere full of love & free of drama

If you’re looking for a community built on self-reliance, mutual respect, creativity, and genuine connection, come chat with us! Email Amarah (sharif.amarah@gmail.com) and Zach (z.b.corabi@gmail.com). Let’s make Burning Man 2026 one for the books.
