We run a round-trip shuttle between Denver International Airport and camp, timed around the start and end of camp. Reserve your seat below.

A shuttle pass is a $20 add-on at checkout. Grab the pass first, then pick your time slot on the form. First come, first served.

• Bring a snack and water. It is a roughly 90 minute drive with no stop, so come prepared.
• Label your luggage. We load gear fast.
• Driving yourself? The venue is 21441 N Elbert Rd, Elbert, CO 80106.

When you sign up for your shuttle, you can add your flight details right there in the form. It is totally optional, but it helps us keep an eye out if flights get delayed or if we ever need to check in on you. Book your flights first, then drop the details in when you reserve your shuttle time.

Fly into Denver International Airport (DEN). It is the only airport the shuttle serves.

Arrival, Thursday Sep 24. Earlier is best. Book a flight that lands at least one hour before your shuttle slot. Denver is a big airport and bags take time. A morning or early-afternoon landing gives you breathing room for check-in, dinner, and the first night fireside.

Departure, Monday Sep 28. The earliest shuttle leaves camp at 6:00AM. Book your flight with enough buffer for the 90 minute drive to DEN plus check-in time.

Message Billy (@gernge) in the Discord shuttle channel first. If there is room on an upcoming shuttle, we will get you on it. If you miss the last shuttle of the day, getting to camp is on you, and renting a car from DEN is usually the most cost-effective option.

Every cabin bed is a bare mattress with no linens, so think of this as your can't-miss kit. Dress for warm days, cold mountain nights, and hands-on activities that might get messy. Layers are your friend.

Here is how the week unfolds, Thursday through Monday. All times are local Mountain time.

Most workshops need nothing but you and a way to take notes. Bring a notebook and pen, your laptop if a session calls for it, and a charger. We will flag any class-specific gear ahead of time so you are never caught off guard.

As we refine the classes through the summer, some teachers may pass along suggested items to bring. We will add those here as they come in, so check back before you pack.

For Dani Donovan's session, some folks like to bring her planner, The Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don't Feel Like It, to follow along. This is completely optional. You can take the class without it and get every bit as much out of it, so please do not feel like you need to buy anything. If you would like one to bring along, grab it below. A Clean Edition is available too.

Free shipping with the code CAMPMOGRAPH. That might not sound like much these days, but this chonk of a book actually costs $19.76 to ship, so it adds up. Use the link below and the code applies automatically, just add the book to your cart.

Your ticket includes some camp swag, but there are ADDITIONAL items in the merch store. Updated 2026 items coming soon.

Deadline: August 15. After that your page stays blank and people will just have to guess what you look like.

Our camp yearbook is back, and Kons is heading it up again this year. Think of it as the fix for the business-card problem: your face, your studio, so people recognize you at camp and can reach you after.

It does not need to be professional. Fun, weird, or on-brand for you all work. It just needs to be YOUR face. New this year: a totally optional superlatives vote, so you can crown friends in categories like Fireside Philosopher or Audio Reactive Legend.

Head to the form to download the templates, upload your photo and logo, and cast your votes. Not ready to vote yet? Submit your photo now and come back later using your email receipt.

Join us on Google Meet for the pre-camp Virtual Town Hall. Come with questions, leave ready for September. It is a great time for newcomers to ask anything and for seasoned campers to share suggestions, plus a chance to put faces to names before you land in Colorado.

• What to bring
• How check-in works
• Day-to-day flow
• Workshop and activity schedule
• Open Q&A

Drop questions ahead of time in the Discord #town-hall-questions channel, or ask live during the call. Can't make it? We will post the key takeaways and a replay link in Discord and here afterward.

There are two waivers for 2026: the Camp Mograph waiver and the JCC Venue waiver. Save time at check-in by filling them out now.

Both take about two minutes. Use the links below to sign.

Throughout camp, teams chase a multi-day mystery hidden in the grounds: coded transmissions, hidden props, fun clues, and puzzles that reward the curious. Crack the stages and you might unlock a secret no one else gets.

Bookmark the SCAVENG3R Terminal webapp. It will be your helper in the hunt. No registration required.

Live two-week outlook for Elbert, CO, straight off the forecast wire. Heavy rain or extreme cold may impact outdoor activities. Plan on the possibility.

Camp Mograph is more than the schedule. A lot of the magic is the unofficial stuff campers started and keep alive every year. None of it is required. It is just how we do things. If you are new, think of this as your cheat sheet for jumping right in.

Wear a onesie to the opening-night fireside, and again on Neon Bingo Night this year. Animal, dinosaur, unicorn, Mothman, anything goes. It is the great icebreaker, and first-timers who show up in one are instantly part of the crew.

Late-night karaoke where talent is beside the point. Tone deaf? Perfect. Bring your energy and a song or two. As the regulars say, it is a judgment-free zone.

EJ Hassenfratz hosts a traditional "Camptoberfest" beer tasting when he attends camp. Bring a few craft beers from your corner of the world to share, and sample what everyone else hauls in. EJ always packs some Colorado favorites.

Stickers are the new business cards. Design your own, print a stack, and bring them to trade. By the end of camp your laptop and water bottle will tell the whole story.

Lots of folks fly into Denver a day early and gather before camp officially starts, with Meow Wolf as the classic spot. If you want to know a few faces before you arrive, this is the move, especially for newcomers. Keep an eye on Discord for unofficial pre-camp meetup details.

A camp staple, and yes, everyone completely loses it when O-69 gets called. This year Bingo night goes full neon under blacklights, so bring anything that glows: glow-in-the-dark and blacklight-reactive gear, neon, glow rings, the works.

The Camp Mograph book club keeps the community connected year-round, and sometimes cooks up something special around camp time or on-site, like a themed read or a get-together. Keep an eye on Discord to see what they are planning.

On the last night, when the venue can pull it off, we gather for a big Thanksgiving-style dinner to close out camp together.

Tabletop runs deep here. Magic: The Gathering and D&D sessions tend to pop up, and plenty of people pack a Nintendo Switch for downtime. Bring your decks, dice and Joy-Cons.

Bead up some bracelets, spell out an inside joke, and trade them around. An easy, sweet way to make a connection.

Come December, the community runs a low-key gift exchange on Discord. Gag gifts strongly encouraged. Totally optional, and easiest for folks shipping within the US.

And no, it is not a cult. We just chant that every year.
