Design Camp has been an annual event since 1980 & usually appears in late September/early October at a lodge in northern Minnesota. Design Camp sets the standard for regional design conferences. Its atypical three-day structure mixes indoor and outdoor activities with both educational and social events.

Featured keynote speakers set the tone for camp, and small-group workshops and creative sessions follow these presentations. Attendees (referred to as "campers") stay in lakefront cabins and condos, then meet in the main lodge for events and meals.
