Location
Retreat is at the Barbara C Harris Episcopal Camp and Retreat Center in Greenfield, New Hampshire. If you are flying in from out-of-state, the nearest airports are Portsmouth or Manchester (both in NH), but it is generally easier to find a ride from the Boston airport, since so many locals drive from there. As the retreat date approaches, we can help coordinate rideshares.
Arrive Friday: Check in between 4:00pm and 5:30pm (Dinner is 6:00pm sharp)
Depart Sunday: Retreat will end at 1:00pm after lunch
