Camp Mitchell offers Weddings with a View
With a variety of facilities to choose from, you can find the perfect location for your special day. Camp Mitchell’s iconic outdoor chapel on Petit Jean Mountain is available as a venue for your wedding or other event. Camp Mitchell’s property along the ridge features a stunning view of the valley below.
Hoke Lodge and Keller Hall are the premiere options for receptions, meals, brunches and other festivities. Additional limited, covered outdoor spaces are available as well. Food service can be catered in or arranged with our in-house chef.
Camp Mitchell is a beautiful and sacred place for starting a life together. If you are interested in using our facilities for your upcoming wedding, please read the information below.
We offer a full weekend retreat, or 4-8 hour rentals.
The Weekend Wedding is the way to go! Enjoy all of Camp Mitchell’s main campus (rentable) facilities from Friday afternoon to Sunday at 11am - all the time and space you need for each part of your special occasion.
Summer availability at the Chapel on the main campus is limited to due to camp sessions.
If you’d like to come and see the facilities, please schedule a tour! We want to ensure you’ll come at a time when the gate is open and facilities are not in use by another group. Call or email to set up a time to visit the property so that a staff person can show you around the inside of our spaces and answer any questions you might have. Dropping in to view the facilities is not recommended.
