Just twenty minutes from the Twin Cities in Hudson, WI, Camp St. Croix offers a laid-back venue for weddings and special events along the St. Croix River. Perfectly suited to both indoor and outdoor events, this Wisconsin wedding venue is ideal for celebrations of all shapes and sizes.
Founded in 1909, Camp St. Croix is all about building community, so what better place to begin your journey into forever than by bringing loved ones together, surrounded by the beauty of nature. This picturesque venue is nestled on 400 acres of gardens, prairies, woods, and pine-filled bluffs that look out over the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Couples can host both the ceremony and reception at this rustic wedding venue, which can accommodate even the largest celebrations of up to 240 people. Elegant receptions can be held year-round inside the Royal Credit Union Discovery Center, a red-barn-style building with a fireplace, catering kitchenette, covered patio, audio-visual equipment, and more. Outdoor spaces include the covered pavilion and two different amphitheaters, perfect for ceremonies with a stunning wooded backdrop. Several seasonal spaces, including Croix Hall, Weyerhaeuser Lodge, the River Center, and the dining hall, also offer a variety of rustic venues in the main camp.
At Camp St. Croix, the team can help guide you through the process for a seamless experience. The farm can be rented for your special day, while the team can help you craft your perfect wedding meal with an array of wedding menu options. Alternatively, a preferred catering list can be shared, allowing you to bring in the cuisine of your choice. You and your guests are welcome to stay on-site, where bunk-style cabins and three retreat lodges offer comfortable and convenient accommodations. There is also an array of activities to enjoy across the property, from hiking to campfires, water sports, and more, making Camp St. Croix a fun and relaxing place to celebrate your love.

Camp St. Croix is a beautiful and unique wedding venue! Not only did we love having our wedding there, we also loved working with Camp St. Croix during the planning process. They were very responsive and went out of the way to answer every weird question we came up with. The staff is flexible and creative. We had a great experience working with Theresa.

My husband and I recently got married at YMCA Camp Icaghowan. It was a beautiful experience, the location is gorgeous and out in the woods on an island. The staff were incredible at anticipating needs we hadn’t even thought of. We forgot our arch for the ceremony and the team at Icaghowan made us one that was even more beautiful than the one we had prepared to bring. The kitchen staff did a fantastic job with our late night snack and dessert, and even did the dishes for the company we had catering dinner. Both the kitchen staff and the camp staff were incredibly nice and happy to help with anything we needed. The other ymca camps are also gorgeous and would be a great venue as well. Everything went perfectly day of and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding.

The perfect place for a joyful, community-centered wedding!
We had the best time during our wedding at Camp at Croix! It was everything we hoped for and more—playful, celebratory, and full of connection. The camp created the kind of environment we were dreaming of: one that brought all our favorite people together in one place, made room for fun and laughter, and encouraged real community.
Theresa was incredibly communicative and supportive throughout the planning process, which was especially helpful since we were planning from afar. The kitchen staff was also amazing—understanding our vision and helping bring it to life with warmth and flexibility.
We visited a number of camps around the Twin Cities before choosing Camp at Croix, and it stood out for several reasons: the location is super convenient for guests flying into MSP, the lodges and cabins were the most recently renovated and comfortable that we saw, and the grounds (complete with pickleball courts, Gaga ball, and river views!) felt like a built-in playground for all ages.
We ended up booking all the cabins for our guests, which made the whole weekend feel like a cozy, joyful retreat. If you're looking for a place where your community can come together, celebrate, and really connect—Camp at Croix is the place.

We loved having our wedding at Camp St. Croix. We got married in January and embraced the winter wedding fully, renting a sauna truck to camp (very easy to coordinate), building an ice bar and hosting a demonstration on making ice luminaries, which we spread along the paths at camp. We really enjoyed being able to host all of our guests in the cabins for the whole weekend. We had many brave guests who were nervous to "winter camp" until realizing (well in advance of the wedding!) the cabins were warm and cozy inside! We also had a polka band on the wedding day and invited a polka instructor for a short lesson before dancing started, which was a hit! We hired a babysitting service which set up in the basement of the dining hall for parents to drop kids off at, which was also a hit. We greatly enjoyed working with camp chef Ben to make all of our meals special. Overall, we loved Camp St. Croix!

We rented this camp for our family for the week of our daughter's wedding at Troy Burne and it was absolutely perfect. Peaceful mornings, cozy nights and so many memories made in between. Couldn't have asked for a better home base for such a special week.
