Sietch Grabrear
Theme Camp
Come visit us in Black Rock City!
We will be located at 6:00 and Fossil.
Sietch is the name used in the Dune sci-fi series
for the community cave dwellings of the Fremen,
the indigenous people of the desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.
The Sietch Grabrear will provide a home base for Shai-Hulud the Sandworm Mutant Vehicle and it's Fremen crew— also known as Wormies.
We will not be
re-enacting
Dune, but we
are inspired by
the books by Frank Herbert, and the movies.
The Sietch will offer rest and recreation opportunties for both the Wormies and visiting citizens of Black Rock City. Members are encouraged to contribute their art to the camp.
