HOLMES Camp and Conference Center, located approximately 55 miles north of New York City, is a 550 acre camp and conference center set among pristine forests, lakes, cliffs, trails and wetlands in the hill country of northern Putnam County/southern Dutchess County in the lower Hudson River Valley (click here for map). The location provides a beautiful view of the area and spectacular changes of seasons. No matter when you are here, it is a good time to be at the Holmes. The property supports two year-round conference centers, three year-round retreat cabins, two seasonal youth facilities, a rustic camping program, several tent/trailer and day group areas, and an environmental science and arts program. The Center's three lakes provide the natural resource for swimming and boating activities, as well as winter fishing and ice skating. The Holmes provides programmed events, as well as rental facilities for self-directed conferences and retreats.

HOLMES Presbyterian Camp and Conference Center is the outdoor Christian education and retreat facility of the Presbyteries of Hudson River, Long Island and New York City of the Presbyterian Church (USA) within the Synod of the Northeast, representing nearly 260 congregations and 55,000 members in the metropolitan New York area.
