Covenant Hills has gone through many changes since it started in 1989 as a Chrisitan summer camp in the mountains of Vermont. In 2015 it was decided to close down camping and move towards a new future. A group of people comprised of the board of managers and volunteers have worked hard to keep Covenant Hills going. This past week the New England Conference of UMC authorized the unconditional return of all 270.5 acres of land and all buildings and structures of Covenant Hills to the Nulhegan band of the Abenaki people. The New England Conference also authorized the conference trustees, beginning September 15th, 2024 to work with the appropriate Tribal and State entities to accomplish the transfer of the proper deeds, funds, leases, reports, and other details to the Nulhegan band of the Abenaki. The board of managers will be there working with the trustees throughout this process.
We are so thankful for all the people and groups who have invested time, energy, money and love into Covenant Hills over the past 35+ years. We will have a formal goodbye and decommissioning of our beloved space in the future.
