A Gathering Place with Heart
The Center at Orchard Hill gathers people together in a community built from the ground up in southern New Hampshire.
Built by hundreds of volunteers in 1994, The Center is a multi-use gathering space. People use our space and the land for creating, learning, retreating, healing, and dreaming.
The Center hosts several ongoing initiatives including community activities and festivals, summer and vacation day camps, a preschool cooperative, and more. Have an idea for using our space? We invite you to join us in possibility.
Our Mission
The Center at Orchard Hill is a gathering place in service to creating a nurturing and accessible community for all.
Our Vision
We envision a world where people share their authenticity, strengths, and culture. Harnessing the spirit of possibility, we envision a truly inclusive, harmonious world.
