Gymnasium was the vision of Kirill Tokarev who founded the camp and brought his passion for naturism and sports to Burning Man.
He passed away in March 2018, but with the support of Al in Sydney and Don in Southern California, the camp continued on, grew in size and enjoyed excellent placement in the heart of the 7:30 sector.
To those of you who came by for wrestling, yoga, pottery, beer miles or just to say Hi, Thank You!
To all our past and present camp members. Thank you for all the AMAZING days, evenings and mornings we spent together. Thank you for the passion, resilience, fun and joy you brought to Gymnasium. We hope you will cherish the memories as much as we do.
Farewell, from Gymnasium, forever.
Al and Don
Gymnasium theme camp was started by Kirill Tokarev in 2015 as part of his Active Naturists group. Our camp is a group of approximately 25 campers who embrace the freedom of naturist activities both on and off the Playa. Camp members are gay and straight, multiple ethnicities and come from countries around the world including Canada, France, Australia, Norway, Singapore, England and of course the United States.
