The lawsuit also sheds light on the supposed hierarchy within the club, mentioning about 100 separate camps with captains who allegedly violate labor laws. Despite its secretive nature and conspiracy theories surrounding it, Bohemian Grove remains a subject of fascination and speculation.
While the club’s motto emphasizes social and avocational purposes rather than decision-making, its annual Midsummer Encampment continues to draw attention and controversy.
With a rich history involving notable figures like Clarence Thomas and Richard Nixon, Bohemian Grove remains shrouded in mystery and intrigues.
