The camp behind the pinwheels
Built by hand.
Better together.
We’re PinWheelerZ, a festival camp with a thing for oversized, hand-built pinwheels and the people who gather around them.

Our camp has taken shape over years at Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, Youtopia and other West Coast gatherings. We tried a few pinwheel-themed identities along the way before landing on PinWheelerZ.
The pinwheels have always been part of the story: mechanical, hand-built, made in different sizes and a little absurd. They catch the light, move with the wind and give people a reason to wander over.
Every camp adds another chapter. This site is where we keep the photos and stories, stay connected between events and find the next place to show up together.
