Coracle supports, and even encourages the presence of families. Children of all ages are welcome, however anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a ticketed parent or legal guardian. Children 12 years and under are admitted free with registration.
Minors age 13 -17 require a family pass (1 Adult and 1 Teenager ticket).
You are responsible for the safety and well-being of any minor under the age of 18 that you bring to Coracle.
Don’t assume your kids will be safe in someone else’s camp. It’s up to you to be aware of what is happening and determine what is safe. Children need supervision and protection at all times. Don’t ever turn your children loose without supervision.
2025 Coracle Theme: Protopian Future
Somewhere between the extremes of a perfect but impossible utopia, and a terrifying dystopia that nobody wants, is a third possible path for the future: Protopia.
Writer and futurist Kevin Kelly coined the term to describe a future based on steady progress, better than today but not perfect, and not without setbacks. Predicated not on avarice or despair but on slowly, gradually working to make the world better for everyone, one step at a time.
"You can’t see a difference of 1 percent unless you turn around and look behind you. One percent a year, for 100 years — that’s a big difference."
- Kevin Kelly
Guided by the 10 principles of Burning Man, Coracle celebrates art, community, play and expression. Children of all ages are welcome. There is no vending of any kind at Coracle, there are no commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising.
You must bring everything you need to survive and thrive in early November elements (cold, rain, sunshine). All offerings by participants are offered as a gift, and our temporary celebration thrives on acts of gift-giving, with no expectation of return.
Everyone is invited to help create the weekend. Coracle is an entirely volunteer-produced love offering.
We strive to leave the venue even more beautiful than we found it. Each participant is expected to remove all trash, camping gear, and anything else brought for the weekend. We leave no trace of our presence after the weekend is over.
The word Coracle means a small round boat woven together. We communally weave a weekend of celebration, holding everyone's gifts. You are invited!
