Camp Lindenmere

d! Yes I can go on and on about the facility itself and I will but the best part was hands down the staff!!!! This group of wonderful humans did everything to make sure my husband, myself and all our guests were comfortable and having fun. The planning process was very smooth. The tour and tasting itself was one of the best days ever. The food is outstanding!!! This place truly has it all. The cabins are newly renovated and the activities were never ending. I showed up with the weekend itinerary and they took care of the rest. This camp was better than the camp I went to every summer as a kid. My step daughter is now asking to go to this camp. Our wedding weekend was one of the best times of our lives and it’s all thanks to Camp Lindenmere and their staff!!!!! Weeks later and people are still talking about how much fun they had. Thank you sooo much Kyle, Elliot, Louis and the entire CL crew!!! We LOVE you guys!!!! Beyond grateful 🙏

in the hospitality business. Several of our guests have travelled extensively, and they commented that the service and care at Camp Lindenmere surpassed many 5 star faculties that they had visited in Europe! Definitely a unique and welcoming wedding venue… we’re still getting the “Best Wedding Ever” comments!

f planning ,guest bookings, timelines, day of coordination, doing all the set up (I mean we literally brought in our mug favors and they put the little “thank you” tags on, they put batteries in our taper candles, etc. I swear they don’t say no.) The food all weekend was incredible, the drinks were flowing (my husband and I were CRAVING the ribs we had at the reception for a full week after). Our guests were really pleasantly surprised at the “country club” feel of the summer camp - staff is always around on golf carts to escort guests as needed, there’s even a beer golf cart going around on Saturday. The waterfront was beautiful, everyone got a kick out of the high ropes course, people were playing volleyball under the lights all hours of the night. They told us the after-party would end at 1:30 but we were partying til 3:30 and no one was kicking us out. I’m trying to convince everyone I know to get married here so I can come back as a guest!

hing was honestly amazing. - The camp had a massive team on hand for the weekend, which meant that everything ran smoothly and there were always more than enough team members available to deal with anything that came up. Our guests gushed about how friendly and helpful all the staff members were. - Kyle was our main point of contact during the planning process. We found him to be extremely responsive and easy to work with. He provided the right balance of guidance and flexibility (“I recommend X but we’ll do whatever you prefer”), which helped de-stress all the hundreds of tiny decisions that crop up during planning. - There were lots of nice little touches. For example, we had a dedicated team member to drive us wherever we needed on the wedding day. The folks at Camp Lindenmere are total pros, while also being extremely nice and accommodating. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything went.

gically laid out a detailed timeline for making the whole wedding weekend come to life and were filled with knowledge about making it an amazing experience. They were extremely responsive to any and every question, worry, and idea for making the wedding exactly what I wanted. Their organization, communication and the level of service is incredible. When we arrived to begin preparing the week before the wedding, Kyle, Edwin, Lewis, and Jaques were extremely flexible and on top of every little detail. Every area of the camp was in pristine condition. The guests were amazed by the camp- both the facilities and the service. The entire weekend was a dream come true. The activities ran incredibly smoothly and the guests were all happy with their accommodations. The activities were a blast and the food was delicious. The wedding decorations were set up beautifully. Everything was beyond what I dreamed of! Kyle, Lewis, Edvin, and Jaques are a dream team. I cannot than them enough for making the weekend something that we will be talking about for years to come.

camp activities to fit in. Camp staff were kind and helpful throughout our long planning process, and truly wanted to make camp our home. 2. Camp Lindenmere is a beautiful facility, because for most of the year, it's an active camp for kids! The entire camp feels brand new yet still fun and camp-y. Other camp venues we visited were run down and old. 3. Their chefs can really cook! Most meals throughout our 4 days felt like regular camp food (nothing too fancy, but still quite good). But the reception dinner was really special - Lindenmere's chefs were able to make a Korean noodle dish and a soup as good as a restaurant! The bride's mother thought they had ordered from an actual Korean restaurant. The camp's chefs are willing to try new dishes and work with you to make your reception special. 4. Guests left our wedding with memories to last a lifetime, and so did we. From ropes courses to a field day run by camp staff to our talent show and camp fire after-parties, there were just so many unforgettable memories. Do your wedding here, you won't regret it.

e to us for the weekend, but that was okay. We really wanted our guests to enjoy being together in one or two locations rather than being spread out. Everyone we have talked to since has only had to say how much fun they had at our wedding which makes us really happy to hear. The camp staff was also really great to work with. Kyle and Edvin were really helpful in the planning process. They scheduled several conference calls with us in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure we weren't freaking out and that everyone was on the same page. They also took the lead on directing a lot of the wedding events and made sure everything went smoothly over the weekend. They recommended that we not get a wedding planner, which I'm glad we didn't because Kyle and Edvin helped us more than someone unfamiliar with the camp could have. The whole staff was great during the weekend, too. Everyone was super helpful, pleasant, and laid back. Our guests all really enjoyed being around the staff which I think is pretty rare these days. They also had dietary accommodations available for each meal which was something we asked for and they delivered. Also - to rent the whole camp out for a weekend was fairly expensive but they helped make it more affordable. Because guests would be staying at the camp from Friday to Sunday and eating meals and drinking alcohol all weekend, the camp staff collected an initial payment for each guest before the wedding (the amount per guest was determined by myself and my wife). This money went directly to helping pay our final cost which made a huge difference to us. It was also really convenient for our guests because there were no money transactions during the weekend, it was like an all-inclusive vacation. Additionally, the camp staff processed all of the payments for our guests which took a lot off our plate in the weeks leading up to the wedding. To anyone interested in having a camp weekend wedding, I would highly recommend Camp Lindenmere!

you are considering a weekend wedding at a summer camp, look no further. This is the right spot. And I need to say this early in my review...the food is DELICIOUS. Like unbelieveably good. This venue is where summer camp meets country club! Our guests began arriving Friday and the staff helped transport their belongings and sign into bunks. The bunks were beautiful and comfortable with ac, electric, and bathrooms with granite countertops. Everything was spotless and clean. Private rooms are available as well for your more mature guests. My husband and I had a beautiful lakehouse to ourselves with a great bridal "getting ready" area. Guests were transported in golf carts which were always at the ready for anyone who needed a ride, no need to worry about your more mature guests walking! Friday and Saturday day our guests enjoyed the ropes course and lake, and we had a wonderful BBQ and bonfire Friday night at the beautiful 1800s stone lodge and patio. My guests all RAVED about how helpful and friendly all the staff were. In fact, most told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Lindenmere even provided Friday night decor and centerpieces - one less thing for us to worry about! And they were beautiful lanterns and lights. They also provided itineraries and maps for our guests which was so nice! Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day with our guests enjoying the grounds. I didn't need to worry about setup, the staff took care of ALL of my decorations. God bless them - they figured out where all my boxes of stuff went and put everything together while I enjoyed getting ready. I don't know how they did it! By the time I got to brunch the next day, everything was neatly packed and ready to be loaded into our cars to go. There were backup plans and spaces ready to go in case of rain, but I'm pretty sure these guys can control the weather. We went from 80% chance of thunderstorms to sunny and beautiful overnight. We had a preceremony cocktail hour in the Lindendome followed by our ceremony in the gorgeous stone amphitheater surrounded by nature. Seriously, in all my dreams of an outdoor wedding I could never imagine a more perfect spot. Our post ceremony cocktail hour was held on a beautiful patio near our reception area. The reception area was a large covered pavilion with everything we needed to enjoy our night. And I'll say it again because it deserves repeating - THE FOOD! We kept the party going in our canteen afterparty where we had a karaoke party. We had so much fun with the staff and they did EVERYTHING to make our weekend perfect. My husband and I even had personal van drivers for whenever we were ready to go somewhere. We finished with a Sunday Brunch and we were all sad to say goodbye. As the bride, I didn't need to worry or stress about anything the entire weekend. Staff took care of ALL of it. I know this is long but I really can't say enough about this place. We just had the most wonderful, magical weekend. Kudos to the staff for their hard work. Everything was perfect. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, and we hope to come back and visit with everyone soon! THANK YOU LINDENMERE!

that happen! They encouraged everyone to let loose and be silly which was an amazing bonding experience. It was so fun for us to get to see our favorite people interact and really get to know one another, allowing our friends to make new friends. Isn’t that the whole point of camp?! We came to camp with a clear idea of the experience we wanted to provide to our guests. The leadership group (Kyle, Edvin & Lewis) took the time to understand our vision and organized planning sessions and visits to craft the experience we were looking for. From putting together menus and beverage selections, to planning the weekend schedule and handling payments, they helped keep things moving along while helping us finalize the details for our event. Staying in the bunks was fun for most of our guests - and having private rooms with ‘real’ mattresses and beds was a perfect solution for others, ensuring that everyone could stay the whole weekend and take advantage of all the activities. There were organized games like kickball and lake relays, and other activities like archery, the climbing wall or trapeze (!) available all day. There were enough group activities to promote getting to know each other and the entire day ended with a huge relay race across camp that EVERYone participated in! It was so fun - everyone was smiling and exhausted by dinner time, but the good times kept going late into the night! And that was the day before the wedding! On top of a fantastic camp day, Kyle and the crew threw an amazing party! The wedding day was just as wonderful and fulfilling as the camp experience. Our guests were free to relax or keep playing at camp while we got ready at the Lake House, which was a beautiful place for our first round of photos. As we made our way over to the amphitheater from the Lake House, the staff filtered our guests into the ceremony location where the team had set up our chuppah and arranged the planters and flowers, everything was absolutely beautiful. The team took our vision for the set up and executed our ideas, and then some! Everyone went above and beyond! While we took pictures, our guests went to cocktail hour and then down to the circus for the reception - transportation by golf cart was available for those that couldn’t make the walk. The transition to each location was smooth and easy for everyone to understand. Everyone was so energized by the day before, so the reception was definitely the climax. Everyone jumped onto the dance floor as soon as the music started - we couldn’t wait to get out there! Over the course of the weekend every member of the staff was simply incredible. Our guests couldn’t help but rave about how friendly and helpful each team member was. It was clear that everyone’s primary goal was to make sure our guests were taken care of. Additionally, the number of staff members made available to us made the logistics of hosting a weekend long event a breeze! The entire event is still something our guests talk about with a huge smile!

d hardworking group. They bring the feeling of summer camp to the forefront of their service but in the most professional (and fun) way possible. You can see their friendships and positivity through the staff which made it even more enjoyable to work with them. The venue itself is amazing and they're really flexible with how you want to change things up. They literally helped make my vision complete and even added things to it that I didn't even think of. There are so many different areas that are perfect for photos, getting ready, and any sort of fun activity you could imagine. I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor, rustic, romantic wedding that's filled with lots of laughs, great people, beautiful photos, and a lifetime of memories.
