Camp Manitowa

Centrally located in Southern Illinois, Camp Manitowa is a popular camp and retreat center. This cozy home away from home is also the perfect place for a whimsical, wooded, wedding celebration! Host all the festivities of your special day on site—ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. You can even host an unforgettable after party around the large campfire circle. Your special day doesn't have to be limited to a few hours on a Saturday, with on-site accommodations you can invite your family and friends to join you for a weekend long wedding retreat! Choose from a number of ceremony sites for the actual service on your special day. Pledge your love in a waterfront ceremony, or exchange heartfelt vows in a shaded clearing in the woods. The expansive grassy area can also be used for an alfresco, bohemian-inspired ceremony. After the ceremony, treat your guests to a unique cocktail hour experience that includes classic field games like horseshoes and sack racing. Then dine on a delicious meal in the camp's main dining room. After dinner dance the night away beneath the stars. The friendly and professional staff is ready to help you plan an unforgettable time.
