Grotonwood is a 250-acre retreat and conference center owned and operated by The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts. We offer groups of all sizes between 25-220 the chance to enjoy the peaceful and restorative nature of our facilities through self-directed retreats year round. We host groups from churches to social service agencies, college students, veterans groups and most other non-profit agencies. Each group comes to Grotonwood for their own unique reason related to strengthening bonds, finding peace, or working through personal and professional challenges.
Our diverse lodging options allow for groups as small as 25 people or as large as 220 people. Large group lodges holding more than 40 people – or – our villages of cabins that hold 25 to 56 people are among the choices. If you prefer, we can offer a formal residence for more privacy. Included are meals that accommodate the many common dietary requirements and preferences such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, lactose free etc. Enjoy any meal from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast, or allow us to assemble coffee stations and snack trays to be waiting for your arrival.
Our retreat packages include the most popular 2-night stay with 5 meals, or a shorter visit of 1 night and 3 meals. We even offer day-only conference space. Of course, your group can configure its own package that fits just right.
While with us, make use of the chapel, gymnasium, waterfront (weather dependent), meeting spaces or any of the 3 to 4 miles of hiking/biking trails. For a small fee we can provide the use of presentation equipment to enhance your work. Of course, no retreat in the woods is complete without a campfire. Groups can reserve a space at one of the 6 campfire spots on the Grotonwood property.

The lake, sunsets and even snow become the scenery for many magical moments and a memorable and unique wedding weekend. Our seasoned event staff ensure that your wedding offers the perfect blend of relaxation and activities that can only be found at camp.
Ceremony
There are a number of ceremony locations available at camp Including the log built chapel, Nutting Field, and the beach front over looking Lost Lake . There are also many locations nestled in the woods providing an intimate and rustic feel.
Reception
Most of our wedding guests will enjoy their wedding reception in our Dining Hall and let our award winning chef design a menu that can cater to all tastes and budgets. There are several locations at camp that allow for the placement of large tents to provide an outdoor wedding reception if you prefer.
