History

Cedar Hills was the camp home for the Diocese of Ohio camp for many years. After outgrowing this location, the search began for a new home — one that could facilitate a new vision of fostering spiritual and physical wellness for adults and youth through the integration of a farm.

This was envisioned as a space that could not only support farming activities, but have water for swimming and paddling, forested space to explore and steward, and varied topography and vistas. Sounds like a dream place! Where on earth would such a place be found?

After years of searching, planning, and an extensive capital campaign, Bellwether Farm, the Diocese of Ohio’s camp, retreat, and education center, held its official ground-breaking in the fall of 2016. This momentous occasion would not have been possible without the visionary and generous support of the members of our Diocesan community, as well as the help of numerous community partners.
