As a former camper and staff members, CL/CLH was a very nostalgic and meaningful place for my gusband and me to host our wedding. Not only did we meet at camp, we also got engaged here three years later! We hosted a welcome party at bass beach the night before and had the reception at the main lodge on CLH grounds. Camp staff was extremely accommodating during our days of setup and provided us with help wherever needed. It was a joy to watch all of our guests celebrate at the OB deck, wraparound lodge deck, playing yard games, and getting to experience a little bit of that camp magic. I even had a guest tell me this was the first time they felt like they had to send a thank you card for being invited to a wedding. We still hear raves from our guests about their “Minnesota Weekend.” There is truly no place like CL/CLH to bring all of your family and friends together. This is a venue I know I will keep returning to throughout life, and am so grateful for the experience I had here during my wedding weekend.
