Setting the Table:

The Holy Hospitality of Food Service, Maintenance, & Guest Services

Holy Hospitality is an Episcopal Camps & Conference Centers (ECCC) event dedicated to camp and retreat ministry: food service teams, maintenance staff, and guest services leaders. From December 15–18, 2025, at Bellwether Farm in Ohio, participants will gather for a unique blend of professional development, peer learning, and wellness.

The event will feature workshops led by experienced facilitators in each area: kitchen innovation and food systems, facilities management and sustainability practices, and guest services and hospitality systems. In addition to technical training, participants will share stories, exchange favorite resources and partners, and reflect on their work as a ministry that creates sacred, safe, and welcoming spaces for all.

Accommodations and cost

Accommodations

The 40 overnight rooms are single or double occupancy with a private bath. Most rooms have two extra-long twin beds, although several have queen beds. There are five buildings of five rooms each that overlook the bluff down to the recreational area. Each of those five buildings includes a lounge and kitchenette for small group gatherings. Each retreat room is climate controlled and linens and towels are provided. Although all buildings and rooms meet ADA standards, the 10 rooms in the first two buildings have rooms that are specifically wheel-chair accessible. A covered walkway connects these two buildings to the Grange. Price includes room, meals, and program fee.

Single Occupancy: $550
