Why Women? At times I have wondered how it is I ended up focusing so much on women’s programs at Camp Earth Connection. I value men and adore my 4 sons & 2grandsons (plus one on the way.) Myself, I feel pretty “gender neutral” and grew up loving and envying stereotypical “boy” activities and privileges. […]
Last night, by the light of the moon, I walked down Hammond Hill Road with Taz. Well, I walked and Taz ran. It was a mix of clouds and stars and moonlight. It was cold and crisp and quite amazing. We are spending the weekend down at camp while guests stay at the Mountain Queen. This is […]

November has been a busy month on the hill. With the help of Branden, a friend and fellow tree lover, I started the month by harvesting some trees that toppled over last winter due to the moist ground. One was beautiful Red Oak – big enough that it would take two people to wrap there […]

Dear Friends, Acquaintances and People of the World, I invite you to open your hearts for a moment and remember we are all connected to each other and the Earth. I believe in that connection is where we will find peace and acceptance. I decided earlier this year to offer a week of camping from […]
Today at many campgrounds you can find mini-golf; swimming pools, arcades, junk food and all kinds of modern recreational “stuff.” At Camp Earth Connection, I want to make camping just a “tadpole” bit different then the modern day campground. (Tad may actually originate from the word tadpole describing a small child.) Camp Earth Connection is […]
Hey Folks, As many of you know it’s not easy asking for help. Whether it’s for ourselves or for a dream we are trying to work towards, it’s just hard. I am grateful for all the help I have received over the years both personally and with all of my projects and dreams. If my […]
On a recent trip from NYC, I hit traffic on the Taconic Parkway- and a sign that said “1 hour delay expected.” Fortunately I was listening to a Pema Chodron Retreat CD that I purchased a couple years ago when I was camping in Provincetown. I listened to Pema speak about living life with […]
