I wanted to introduce to the group a new Theme Camp Project that we are working on: Camp Shiny - A Burning Man Camp For Autism <http://campshiny.org>
As part of this camp, we are planning on building (along with several hexayurts for housing) a specially designed hexayurt to be used as a sensory management pod. Our Autistic Burners will need a place where they can really decompress during the event, escaping the heat, wind, dust, noise, and lights of the playa for portions of the day. A hexayurt is a great start for this, but ours may be a little different. For maximum noise and heat protection, we are looking at building a yurt-within-a-yurt with a few inches of dead air insulation, and an off-set entry so that people coming in and out won't disturb the peace of the enclosed space. We have some hexayurt experience in the group, but would welcome any design and construction advice, and glad make us of any extra expertise, time, and materials that may be available. If you might be interested in helping out, please let me know, or visit our website at campshiny.org. Thanks to All.
