Why be a Ranger?

The Top 10 Reasons for becoming a Ranger are:

  1. Burning Man is a non-spectator event--Participate!
  2. Rangering is the ultimate type of participation
  3. Help manage a safe city of 30,000 participants
  4. Learn how a city is built and managed from within!
  5. Communicate and connect with participants from all over the world
  6. Create long-lasting relationships with your neighbors and co-rangers
  7. Understand how to function in a desert environment
  8. Develop knowledge about safety skills
  9. Carry responsibility towards your experience and your community
  10. For the experience
The Experience

As a Black Rock Ranger, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of the Burning Man community by providing assistance when people need information, during emergencies, or simply by smiling and saying "Hi!" to the thousands of people you'll meet.

Rangering will also give you some experience in safety and surviving the desert environment. You can put in as many hours as you want, with a minimum of an 8-hour shift, and you'll experience the challenge of walking around the playa and interfacing with a community of strong-willed and independent people. It can be an enormous growing experience if you want it to be.

Rangers want to make sure no one hurts someone else without their consent.

...and we want to monitor the energy to make sure it flows.

Your participation can play a pivotal role in taking responsiblity for your experience at Burning Man this year and enhancing that of many others.

We look forward to receiving your application and having you be part of the Black Rock Rangers!
