Celebrate 100 Years Under the Stars
Marking a Century of Camp
We had a wonderful time commemorating 100 years under the stars and setting the stage for more years to come! Thank you to all of our community members who joined us for this weekend-long celebration in June. Check out more photos on our Facebook page!
Our Roots, Our Legacy
Purchased by the YMCA of Metro Chicago in 1925 for the solid sum of $10, YMCA Camp Pinewood was established to offer inner-city youth a different perspective through the great outdoors. Over the years, we’ve changed, evolved, and expanded to fit the needs of our community — from Family Camp and education programs to weddings and rentals.
At our core, Camp Pinewood is a place where people of all ages can build confidence, make new friends while strengthening existing connections, and unlock new adventures.
Find Joy in Giving
Commemorate 100 years of camp memories by making a gift to Camp Pinewood. When you invest in Camp Pinewood, you help us with the resources necessary to ensure we can deliver on our purpose with great passion and enthusiasm. Celebrate the past while building toward the future!
