About the Rowe Camp and Conference Center
Rowe is a treasure of
Conference Centers. Birthed out of love of its founders, it has
become one of the best known retreat centers in the Northeast.
Coming to Rowe is a pilgrimage, traveling a distance from our
accustomed place to enter a sacred space, where we are transformed.
Eventually we return to the turbulent world, as all pilgrims do,
infused with fresh energy, courage, and love.
Nestled in the
beautiful Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts,
Rowe Conference Center offers an exceptional environ to grow, learn,
expand, rejuvenate. Take time to walk in the groves, the adjacent
wildlife preserve, or bake in the sauna.
Rowe Camp began in 1924 as a Unitarian camp for teenagers. In 1973 Rowe
purchased the farmhouse adjacent to the camp
and began weekend retreats and conferences for adults and families.
Programs
are open to everyone. Rowe is affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist
Association.
It is about
1500 feet above sea level in the Berkshire Mountains on 40 acres of
land almost surrounded
by a 1400 acre town park and wildlife preserve. The park is held in
trust "forever wild"and includes miles of
trails (which are fine for cross-country skiing), two mountains and a
lake.
See rowecenter.org for additional details.
Directions
Rowe is located in
Northwestern Massachusetts, four miles from the Vermont border. It is
off Route
2, 25 miles west of Greenfield and 25 miles east of Williamstown. We
are within an hour's ride of Bennington,
Brattleboro, Amherst, Northampton, and Pittsfield, two hours from
Fitchburg, Hartford
and Albany, three hours from Boston and New Haven and 4-5 hours from
NYC. You will be sent a map when you register, with special
directions from
New York, Vermont and Connecticut. The Mohawk Trail (Route 2) is
probably the most famous highway in New England and rightfully so.
There are few roads more beautiful. Enjoy the journey as well as the
goal. To
get maps and directions, go to rowecenter.org, or follow this link from
MapQuest, click here
MEALS
The Rowe Conference Center is
well known for its gourmet vegetarian meals, part of the conference
costs. Rowe's chefs
consistently amaze everyone with their delicious culinary
artistry, as well as their willingness to cater to special diets, from
vegan to high protein. Their food — fresh baked breads, homemade
soups,
gourmet entrees, and yummy desserts — is prepared lovingly by our chefs.
Accomodations
Sign
up early for the most choices of where
to stay. The decor is simple and fresh and the atmosphere relaxed.
There are
dorm-style housing in winterized cabins, summer camp cabins, the
Rec Hall and the Farmhouse. The extra heaters in the Farmhouse keep
rooms cozy and warm.
The
winterized cabins are one large room heated by a wood-burning stove.
There are also five unheated summer camp cabins that provide additional
dorm
housing in the early fall and late spring. Although the winterized
cabins and summer camp cabins are not equipped with bathrooms, they are
located near our beautiful all-season bathhouse. Some of our dorm rooms
and cabins are co-ed, so if you prefer a women-only or men-only space,
please let us know when you register. Please bring your own toiletries,
towels and bedding (sleeping bag or sheets and blankets). If you are
staying in an unheated cabin you will need to bring a pillow as well.
With advance notice, we will provide bedding for $5. We have a
number of single and double occupancy private rooms available
in the Farmhouse, Orchard Guest House, Brook House, Rec Hall, and
Fromson House. All have shared bathrooms, and several rooms are
wheelchair accessible. Bedding, including towels, is provided in
private rooms. Seasonal camping is also available in our lovely
orchard or in the pine forest. Bring your own tent.
There are limited
accomodations at the Rowe Center, so we do suggest you sign up
early.
For additional information on
rooms or meals, or you wish private room services away from the
Center, click here:
