YMCA Camp Pinewood was the perfect venue for our wedding. Mila, the venue coordinator, was very hands-on and always available to talk whenever we had questions or concerns. The campsite is absolutely beautiful and provides a stunning backdrop for the wedding. The lodge for the reception was of great quality and provided enough space for all of our guests. The camp staff helped out the whole weekend and even provided fun activities like rock climbing and archery for our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. The perfect venue for a camping wedding but still makes it feel like an actual wedding venue!
