THE EXPERIENCE

THE MISSION

ManCamp is a celebration of masculinity Festival. An initiation where men come together to grow, challenge themselves and step into their fullest potential. We believe that true transformation doesn’t come solely through struggle but through celebration. A ritual of honouring who we are, what we’ve overcome, and the men we are becoming. An energy of inspiration and motivation to realize our role in this world.

Rooted in empowement, brotherhood, and time-honoured rites of passage, ManCamp creates a space for men to cultivate resilience, integrity, and purpose at a time the world needs it the most. We blend challenge with joy, discipline with play, and introspection with connection because we know that celebration is a catalyst for lasting change, inspiring us to embrace a new way of being with energy, passion, and commitment.

Together, we rise.

Mancamp has a home here and for that we are grateful to the stewards of these lands practicing regenerative principles and cultivating community in harmony with nature.

the story

In the spring of 2024, Geoff "Rawa" Larden, founder of the Bold x Centered men's empowerment movement, met Adam Lewis. Both received the same divine guidance—it was time to unify the brotherhood and birth a festival honoring sacred masculinity.

The first seeds of prayer were planted, with a clear intention: to gather 150 men in sacred prayer, release burdens, awaken their hearts, and rekindle the bonds of brotherhood. The rest, as they say, is history. Prayers were answered. 150 men stepped into this gathering, leaving with upright spines, deepened brotherhood, and a sense of unity and purpose—an experience they will never forget.

The ripple effect of our inaugural festival was massive, and this is just the beginning. The men are gathering. We are here to awaken the power of the heart in men and steward this earth with impeccability.

THE RESULTS

  • Mancamp provided me with an experience I never thought I could have.So much positive support, energy and camaraderie. Masterful workshop leaders, elders, men of all walks of life. Mancamp was inspiring beyond words and I cannot wait til next year

    NICK K.

  • Mancamp was a dream come true. Never before have I seen so many caring and wise men come together for the greater good of all. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe space to express their masculine energy and those wishing to level up how they show up in the world. I’ll be back next year that’s for sure.

    GIO B.

  • Mancamp was exactly what I needed. I came away invigorated, lit up, radiantand on-purpose. I feel a similar degree of uplift and transformation as I did following each my wedding and Burning Man. Mancamp is for men from all walks of life, ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and perspectives to come together to support and celebrate one another.

    MICHAEL S.

  • Mancamp was a surprisingly refreshing exploration of the interplay of both the masculinity and femininity in every man. There were activities and keynotes that really felt high-energy and distinctly masculine, and others that really called on participants to explore and express their softer side, as well to learn to receive. The community feeling, care, and passion of the facilitators and participants was palpable and inspiring.

    ALEX S.

  • Every man should attend this even. MANCAMP is your catalyst for change! I met and embraced total strangers and felt like a brother. I learned new things and was challenged in workshops, but I felt safe and free to talk openly, be heard and understood. There was such an amalgam of cultures, experiences, and individuality, and yet our hearts were beating as one and our voices were unified.

    JOHN C.

  • Life changing. Had high expectations but they were literally blown away. Can’t wait until next year.

Calling Men Who Are Ready

ManCamp is exactly what it sounds like: men gathering on sacred land to form bonds of brotherhood. We join together to address the global masculinity crisis, a world where men are feeling disconnected from relationships, purpose, and themselves. these are unprecedented times of social, political, and technological upheaval.

We believe the solutions to these challenges lie in coming together to support each other. In this safe space of brotherhood, we will be connecting with our highest sense of purpose to strengthen our connection to life and humanity. Our festival brings together leaders, innovators, and creators for a transformative weekend experience.

This is where ancient rituals meet the latest thought leadership in Men’s work. Through skill-building workshops, inspiring talks, and physical activities, we highlight and explore aspects of modern masculinity that nurture personal well-being and community health. The goal is for every man to leave this weekend feeling more connected to himself, his community, and his sense of purpose. No man left behind.
