Pinecrest Camp and Conference Center

Pinecrest Camp and Conference Center is a spacious Christian retreat venue in Fredericktown, Missouri, set across approximately 300 acres beside the Mark Twain National Forest. The site welcomes organised groups for retreats, camps, seminars, church gatherings, dinners and other group events, with facilities designed for groups ranging from around 20 to 600 people.

Event organisers can choose from several meeting and gathering spaces. Pinecrest Chapel provides seating over two levels, while the lakeside chapel offers a more intimate setting with views across the water. The gymnasium and auditorium can accommodate larger meetings and group sessions, and the dining hall is arranged for buffet meals, informal dining and banquet-style service. A snack shack and gift shop are also available for groups by arrangement.

Overnight accommodation makes the venue suitable for multi-day programmes and residential retreats. Housing includes private cabins, motel-style buildings and dormitory accommodation, giving organisers options for different group sizes and budgets. Wi-Fi is available across much of the campus, including meeting rooms, cabins and dorms.

The property also offers a broad range of recreational activities, including a six-acre lake, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, fishing, hiking trails, an indoor heated pool, archery, a covered gun range, mini golf, disc golf, sports courts, bonfires and hayrides. These facilities can help organisers build social time and outdoor activities into a retreat programme.

Pinecrest is primarily suited to organised group retreats, camps, conferences and residential gatherings. The venue specifically states that it is not available for weddings, making it a focused option for faith-based, educational, youth, community and other group events.
