The Masonic Camp

10/09/2026

Have you seen the October edition of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota’s eMason? The LEO Column features “Masonic Camp: Natural Transformation” by WB Matthew Parker!

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“I have been blessed in my time in Masonry to be brought to multiple states as a speaker and to meet brethren from all around the world. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that the Masonic Camp ranks among the best events that I have ever been to. There is an atmosphere to it that cannot be equaled, and the passion of the brethren behind it can be felt in every aspect. No Masonic Con has ever been run by more committed men, nor has a better atmosphere. I would even go so far as to say that there is no other Masonic event one could attend which exceeds it, only ones that equal it”.

We’re incredibly grateful and honored to have had him with us as a speaker. ⛺️🌲

Check out the latest episode of the Whence Came You Podcast, The Pelican’s Blood: Unlocking the Esoteric Jewel of the Rose Croix.

TMC is honored to have been mentioned at the onset of the episode. Be sure to follow WCY for weekly Masonic Education for anyone interested in Freemasonry and its kindred sciences.

This week... We trace the ancient pathways of our ritual. We uncover why medieval cathedral builders banded together in secret peace guilds, and we unravel the mystery of the pelican feeding its young on the breast of the 18th degree. Join us as we look for the true origins of our modern Masonic journey.

And that’s a wrap on TMC 2026!

Saturday was full of great conversations, learning, laughter, and fellowship.

We enjoyed:

🌲 A Multi-Topic Masonic Coffee Talk with W∴B∴ Brad Phelps
🌲A primer on The Philalethes Society with M∴W∴B∴ Terry Tilton
🌲 The Essential Jewish Characteristics of Freemasonry with W∴B∴ Matthew Parker
🌲 Esoterics 101 with W∴B∴ Robert Johnson
🌲 Oration: What’s in a Name? with W∴B∴ David Graham

We also had a Magic: The Gathering draft, an Alchemy demonstration, plenty of time around the campfire, and lots of good conversations with Brothers and friends.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make TMC 2026 such a memorable weekend. Whether you gave a presentation, helped behind the scenes, traveled a long way to be here, or simply pulled up a chair and enjoyed the fellowship, you helped make this weekend what it was.

Five years ago, we started The Masonic Camp with an idea. It’s pretty incredible to see what it has become.

Thank you all for helping us celebrate five years of TMC. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Until then, Brethren. 🌲⛺️

What a great way to open The Masonic Camp 2026! ⛺️🌲

Friday of TMC featured a Lodge opened by Otter Tail Lodge No. 284, followed by a portrayal of the Entered Apprentice Degree, fellowship around the campfire, and, most importantly, the opportunity to welcome Brothers from across Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois, England, and South Africa.

From near and far, Brothers came together to celebrate the bonds of Freemasonry, share in fellowship, and help us kick off the 5th Anniversary of The Masonic Camp!

What a day—and we’re just getting started!

The Masonic Camp is only 7 days away! 🌲⛺️

The flame of Masonry is stoked with each new story shared among a circle of brethren gathered together. There is much to learn from the call of the loon as it echoes across Anderson Lake: a quiet invitation to pause, listen, and contemplate.

Soon, our Lodges will return to labor, and the familiar rhythms of meetings, degrees, and fellowship will begin again. But for a moment, let us slow down. Let us step away from the noise of our daily lives and contemplate the great Mysteries that surround us.

Pull up a chair, and join us at the fire. 🔥
