Winter Witchcamp will be February 6-10, 2026

The next Winter Witchcamp event will be held Friday afternoon, February 6th through Tuesday afternoon, February 10th, 2026! Our primary time zone is CST, Minneapolis.

It will be held concurrently online and in person (onsite). The online campers will gather in various ways, including video conferencing and our Discord server. The onsite campers will gather together at our rented venue located in so-called northern Minnesota, within the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary homelands of Indigenous people, specifically on Dakota, Ojibwe, and Ho Chunk land seized by the US government in a series of treaties between 1805 and 1867 and colonized by European settlers.

Our on-site camp is held at a beautiful heated, indoor retreat center. The nearest international airports are DLH (Duluth, Minnesota) or MSP (Minneapolis-St Paul, Minnesota), and then a drive of between 1.5 and 2 hours. We have a thriving Reclaiming community in Minnesota, and often can help with rideshares and community housing if needed.

Offering daily co-created rituals and paths guided by Reclaiming and guest teachers, we focus on deep magic, community empowerment, and taking our magic back into the world. We have deep ties to the land where we meet, and work with the Mysterious Ones of this and all realms. Camp is a five day, four night hybrid (online and in-person synchronous) intensive features trancework, drumming, healing, dancing, storytelling and energy work, plus evening rituals that take us into the heart of the ancient tales, creating powerful, transformative energy that builds throughout the camp.

Winter Witchcamp is a magical intensive retreat in the Reclaiming Tradition of Witchcraft

Reclaiming is an evolving, worldwide, ecofeminist, (aspirationally) antiracist, non-hierarchic tradition that blends activism with magic. We believe that acting for the Earth that we are part of (not separate from) is essential for the health and sustainability of all beings and the world. Our Principles of Unity guide us and demonstrate immanence, the sacredness of connection, and the need to act for justice and freedom.

WitchCamps are magical intensives in the Reclaiming Witchcraft Tradition offered to people of all genders at any level of magical experience. WitchCamps involve classes (called Paths), daily rituals exploring a story, affinity groups for sharing and integration, and optional offerings from campers on a variety of topics.

We welcome you whether you are brand new to witchcraft or you’ve been practicing a long time. Most Paths at our camp are open to anyone, including newcomers. Some Paths are restricted to people who have taken Reclaiming Witchcraft’s core class “Elements of Magic,” and explore more advanced tools. Because Path happens only 3 days of camp, we can’t offer a full Elements of Magic Path at camp. If you are new to the Reclaiming Witchcraft tradition, we invite you to see if you can take an Elements class before camp, and to familiarize yourself with our Tradition through reading resources online or books by Reclaiming witches. To read more about Reclaiming WitchCamps, please visit the WitchCamp Council website.

Monthly Winter Witchcamp Broader Community Meetings

We hold a monthly meeting we call the Broader Community Meeting where anyone who has been to a Winter Witchcamp, or is interested in joining our community or coming to camp, is welcome to attend. We discuss whatever is needed and make decisions by consensus about camp, money, and community. These are on the 4th Sunday of every month from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. central (Minneapolis) time. They are held remotely on Zoom. If you’re interested in joining us, please email WWCregister@gmail.com to get the Zoom link. We share information regularly on our email list, our Facebook group, and our Discord space (contact us to connect to those). Remaining 2025 meeting dates are October 26, November 23, and December 28, and in the first half of 2026 dates are January 25, February 22, March 22, and April 26.

At our Broader Community meeting in March of 2023 we decided the following: Recognizing that community decision making requires time and dedication, we invite anyone to participate in the consensus process who: Supports the Reclaiming Principles of Unity, has been to Winter Witchcamp at least once (including the 2023 Regathering), and is ready to demonstrate their commitment to the Winter Witchcamp community (acknowledging that commitment to community can be shown in multiple and many varied ways and may be further defined or discussed later).
