Camp HellVetica

HellVetica (formerly: Swiss Chalet) is a tight-knit and well-organized camp centered around an interactive propane organ (“flame effect”). The Camp is designed to accommodate 20-30 people.

Burning with HellVetica is a rigorous undertaking since building and running of the operation falls to a small group of people. At our core, we believe that radical participation in this event we hold dear requires more than just showing up physically. Our Build takes place during the early hours of the morning and after the sun has set (Friday/Saturday/Sunday). We strike on Burn Saturday (during the day). No substances beyond caffeine are allowed to be consumed while we are building or taking down.
