i look forward to your thoughts... you could consider things like AEA and the sidebar conversations therein a certain type of "camp," though decidedly outside the realm of the un-conference. similarly, AIGA hosts a series of lectures and what-not; yet again, it's more of an event than an evening of collaboration and problem solving.
definitely something to ponder!

more data points: John Maeda and co organised DIDCamp (a virtual computational information design summer camp), the Processing folks and the Arduino folks host workshops all the time, you went to Andrew Otwell's Design Engaged. Also, I wouldn't say etech and xtech were 'camps', they're much closer to conferences in the traditional sense, no?

Etech counts in my mind for the BOF sessions that happen there. Design Engaged is close to what I'm thinking of, and a few people have mailed other suggestions. Tom, do you think the Arduino/Processing stuff is "design" or "tech"?

I think I would go to design camp. Whatever it is...

because design is fundamentally a dictatorial process and not a community one?
because designers are fundamentally egotists?
tangentially, design bleeds into, one one side, art and on the other, craft.
Finally! I get comment on Mike's weblog posts!! ;)

There was <a href="http://www.socialtext.net/dcamp/index.cgi">this</a> dcamp in Palo Alto in May of 2006. Although I'm also inclined to agree w/ Boris' answer - perhaps designers don't always want to share...?
