Camp Laurelwood

Camp Laurelwood is a 140-acre retreat and event destination in Madison, Connecticut, offering private event hosting alongside its well-established overnight camp program. The property has welcomed weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, corporate retreats, Shabbatons, school programs, and multi-generational family gatherings. Indoor event spaces include Zach's Rec Hall, a climate-controlled building equipped with built-in audio and visual systems, and the Drazen Dining Hall, a rustic open-beam space suited for receptions and group meals. The property's private lake — described as the most popular ceremony spot — provides a scenic outdoor setting with sunset views over the water. The venue accommodates up to 300 guests for meetings and events, with sleeping arrangements for up to 250. An on-site camp chef handles meal service, including kosher catering, and outside caterers are permitted with approval. Tables, benches, chairs, fire pits, a fireplace, video projectors, and sound systems are all included. Staff support is provided throughout the event weekend.
