For years, Cedar Hills was home to the Diocese of Ohio’s camp—a place full of memories and meaning. But as the camp grew, so did the vision. Leaders began imagining a new kind of space—one that could nurture both spiritual and physical wellness for people of all ages, and bring that vision to life through the integration of a working farm.
They dreamed of a place with water for swimming and paddling, forests to explore and care for, and open land with beautiful views. After years of searching, planning, and a successful capital campaign, that dream took root. In the fall of 2016, Bellwether Farm broke ground—officially becoming the Diocese’s new camp, retreat, and education center in 2017.
None of it would have been possible without the generosity, vision, and faith of our Diocesan community and the many partners who helped bring Bellwether to life.
