Retreat Groups
Retreats. Weddings. Corporate Events. Between all the planning and organizing that you need to do, the last thing you need is to be sifting through hundreds of potential venues worrying about what facilities and accommodations best meet your needs. But don’t worry… Camp Selections is here to help!
Let’s find the right fit for your group
Camp Selections, LLC provides a free service to retreat groups and event organizers of all kinds in selecting the right retreat facility for your group or event. We start by getting to know what is important to you, so we can provide options that meet your criteria and help you gain an understanding of what the facilities offer. Based on preferences for location, dates, pricing, program activities offered, food and dietary restrictions, indoor and outdoor facilities, group and private housing accommodations, etc., we can help you identify the perfect partner to ensure your event is a success.
We’re here to help every step of the way
With Camp Selections you get much more than just a referral service. Sure, we help narrow down the choices for you. But we also put our years of experience and connections in the camping industry to use for you so that you can be comfortable with and confident in the decision you ultimately make. That means discussing options, answering questions, and working directly with you and the camp directors or facility owners to reduce stress and make your experience go as seamlessly as possible.

Why have your retreat or wedding at camp?
- 1 -
Great for team building and comradery
With activities and programming you won’t find at home, a camp or retreat facility setting fosters an environment of togetherness that allows your members to form a special bond for a common purpose. Take advantage of ample space to run whatever activities you want that fit your program needs.
- 2 -
Unique experience
Make your retreat or event one that everyone will remember. The one that is different is the one that stands out, and no one will forget the experience they had attending an event that takes advantage of the beautiful outdoors.
- 3 -
Surrounded by beautiful scenery
Step away from the monotony of everyday life and enjoy the gorgeous outdoors! Summer camps and retreat facilities are home to breathtaking nature and scenery, and offer the perfect backdrop to relax, be active, and have fun all at the same time — whether you are a religious group holding services in an outdoor amphitheater, a band camp taking advantage of spacious lined fields or a bride and groom exchanging vows amidst the backdrop of a stunning sunset.

Make it feel like home
This is your group or event — whether you’re there for a full week or just a weekend, you should be treated like an honored guest. You’ll want the opportunity to utilize all the rooms, fields and cabins to make them your own and personalize everything about your experience, from decorations to program, chants/songs and more.

Significant savings
With everything that is offered from housing to food, facilities, nature, program activities and more, you can have it all at an affordable price. Work with camp directors to figure out the best pricing structure for your group or event, and you may also be able to pass some costs onto your members or guests. We can also use our personal relationships and experience working with owners and directors to help you plan your retreat and save.
