Visited (just before the covid shutdowns) via a school field trip and it was a wonderful experience for the kids! Nice cabins, nice grounds, food was good and the activities for the children were so nice! The children did skits in the evening out in the open theater area and it was surreal to hear the waves crash, with the fire pit and an amazing view of the stars. During the day you can see seals on the cliffs and there's also squirrels and lots of deer. A very memorable place indeed!

I (@theluckyonesevents) just coordinated a wedding at this venue. What an amazing place this is! The Staff was amazing, very accommodating and helpful. The axe throwing was a great cocktail hour hit, the space was very user friendly and because of the beautiful atmosphere and surroundings, the decorations were minimally needed. Thank you Erin for a great event for my bride and groom.

I attend Pacific Songwriting Camp every January at this wonderful location in Cambria. It feels like a magical place with wonderful views of the ocean and wildlife such as deer, rabbits, and seals. We sleep in rustic cabins and enjoy really nice home cooked meals in the dining hall. I love this place!

★★★★★Molly Neuman

Our kid had her first weeklong overnight camp experience at Ocean Pines this summer and had a wonderful time. Sea kayaking, tide pooling, falconry, and all the outdoor games seems like a dream. The air is so clear and it really is a magical place. We hope to return again next year.

I just spent 3 days at their annual queer camp and I have to say this is the most healing place. Dealing with stage 4 cancer myself, helping my son with his medical concerns, spending time with some of my favorite people. And the counselors are amazing. Whether you are 6 or 20 or 60, they treat you the same. It really is magical. And they have multiple camps as well as retreats. Oh! And the food is so good!! All meals included :)
