Reconnect, Recharge, and Reimagine: Your Next Corporate Retreat at YMCA Camp Pinewood

Growth doesn’t stop at the office door — it thrives in nature, community, and shared experiences. That’s why YMCA Camp Pinewood offers a unique and inspiring setting for your next corporate retreat. 

Located at the edge of the Manistee National Forest on the shoreline of Echo Lake, Camp Pinewood offers hundreds of acres of serene woodlands, perfect for team building, strategic planning, and leadership development. With meeting spaces, outdoor adventure programs, and cozy lodging, Camp Pinewood blends professional needs with outdoor recreation. 

A Convenient Escape from the Everyday 
Even though YMCA Camp Pinewood offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, we’re located only a few hours' drive — if not closer! — from several major metropolitan areas, including Chicago, Detroit, and Grand Rapids.  

Your team can leave the city behind in the morning and be surrounded by towering trees and fresh forest air by lunchtime. Camp Pinewood is a quick getaway that is ideal for teams looking to unplug, reset, and return to the office with renewed energy. 

Spaces that Inspire 
Our heated lodges and breakout meetings spaces are equipped to host groups of various sizes. Take advantage of our unique facilities, including Butler Lodge, which combines modern amenities with rustic charm. Want an outdoor space to re-energize your team? Butler Patio provides stunning views that promote relaxation and mindfulness during workshops, brainstorming sessions, or quiet reflection.  

Additionally, Camp Pinewood offers various lodging options that can accommodate up to 200 guests. Whether you’re planning a one-day offsite or a multi-day retreat, our team will help you make your vision a reality. 

Nature Meets Team Building 
From sunrise hikes to sunset campfires, Camp Pinewood is designed to bring people together. Groups can enjoy activities such as hiking, canoeing, and zip-lining, all designed to foster connection, creativity, and collaboration. Our camp staff are here to handle the logistics so that you can focus on enjoying the experience.
