Your gift to the 2023 Annual Fund goes directly into our operating budget, enabling us to continue to create space for campers from all over the New England Region, to grow our camp youth and young adult mental health resources, to welcome church organizations and non-profits into a space of rest and reflection, and to tend to the physical campus that's so critical to all activity here on-site and that is aging and in need of care.

As we hit our twenty year mark, we need new roofs on St. Marks, St. Johns, Shaw, and the Dining Hall. We need to begin the process of replacing outdated boilers and updating generators that keep guests warm and food safe throughout the winter season when we lose power, and we need to continue to respond to the changing needs of guest groups in our physical plant, which includes the increased need for accessible buildings, and single-occupancy housing.

We believe the future of the Barbara C. Harris Camp and Conference Center is full of possibility and we need you in order to live into that possibility, in order to ensure the mission of BCH as a space of welcome to all, especially the vulnerable, as a community oriented around care for creation, and walking the way of love can continue to thrive for the next 20 years.

Thank you for your support. Whether you are giving for the first time or you have been a long-time supporter of BCH, we are so grateful.

Alongside emergency housing, we are partnering with our local community in creating space and opportunity for recreation and play. Throughout the winter months, we partner with local baseball teams to provide indoor practice space, with the town of Greenfield to offer space for youth pick-up basketball leagues, and throughout the year for a local men's pick-up league that plays old school gym games weekly.

Our hope is to continue to grow deep roots of connection with our neighbors; to be a part of wider community conversations; to be a place of play and rest and connection in the midst of a time when so much feels disorienting and disconnected, and when so many people feel alone.

If you're curious how you might participate in this ongoing community work with us, please reach out to Executive Director, The Rev. Spencer Hatcher.

Spring Program:

Wild Tea with Jesus: A Day Long Retreat at BCH: 16 March, 2024 from 9 am-3:30 pm

Join Linden Rayton of Living Water Nature Programs on a day retreat at BCH where we will enter into Jesus’ Lenten journey by engaging in an ancient human tradition- making tea. Our tea will be created from wild ingredients on the BCH property. Through the ritual of foraging, brewing and drinking our tea, we will create an atmosphere where we can dig deep into two separate stories of Jesus staying close with God in his last days.

The day will start with a morning session, break for an included lunch, continue with an afternoon session, and finish with a closing prayer. Each session will include brewing a different kind of tea, and explore a different story of Jesus. All participants should bring outdoor-appropriate clothing as we will be outside for two portions of the day, except in case of extreme weather. Registration is limited to 20 participants. $40 per person.

Linden Rayton is an environmental educator and Episcopal Christian from Hopkinton, New Hampshire. She has been active in the Episcopal Church in New England for years alongside a career as a naturalist with many different organizations. As owner of Living Water Nature Programs, she hopes to inspire a deeper relationship between people and the outdoors through exploration, education and reflection, especially at the intersection of faith and nature.
