YMCA Camp Pinewood sits on 200 acres of wooded land in Twin Lake, Michigan, on the shore of Echo Lake at the edge of the Manistee National Forest. The camp hosts a range of private events alongside its family and youth programs — weddings, corporate retreats, family reunions, and milestone celebrations. Butler Lodge anchors the property as the primary gathering and dining space, with a hall that seats up to 160 guests at round tables. An outdoor patio with picnic tables and direct views of Echo Lake extends the gathering space into the surrounding landscape. For ceremonies, the grounds offer a lakefront amphitheater and an open meadow. On-site cabin accommodations allow guests to stay across the full weekend without leaving the property. The camp's activity programming — archery, a zipline and high ropes course, boating, and waterfront access on Echo Lake — is available to event groups, giving celebrations a range that a conventional reception hall can't offer. Wireless internet is available in Butler Lodge.
