Haven the Non-Profit

What does Haven do?

Haven educates and serves the public in the areas of wholistic wellbeing, sustainable living and community building. We design integrated educational experiences that make living a healthy lifestyle easy and fun. Examples include guided tours of our programs, classes, workshops, community clubs, wholistic resource centers, nature centers and more.

Haven creates, facilitates and nurtures Haven Projects, our educational initiatives. Our Projects operate like families, with passionately committed members and community support.

When did Haven start?

Our nonprofit was formed as a 501(c)(3) organization in February 2015. (Our tax ID# is 472888600.) You can read about our journey as a family in this article published in Dirt magazine.

Prior to forming our non-profit, our family of wholistic health professionals spent 25 years working with clients and studying the various conditions that lead to optimal health in human beings (aka natural hygiene).

We’ve evolved considerably and continue to evolve. Please see our About page for more detail.

How are you funded?

Haven is a grassroots organization, charging fees for educational services and receiving support from generous community members. Each Haven Project provides opportunities for low-cost educational experiences that help people learn about and experience wholistic wellbeing for themselves. Some examples include Haven Market’s live demonstrations of healthy, whole food ingredients and chemical-free lifestyle options, Camp Haven’s immersive nature therapy and sustainable living experiences and Club Haven’s community wellness events.

Who runs Haven?

Please see our Team page to meet our key members. In addition, we have volunteers and interns who receive room and fresh produce in exchange for their commitment and dedication to Haven Projects. See our Internships page for more details.

What’s a Haven Project?

Haven Projects are community service projects that mimic typical consumer businesses while integrating wholistic educational experiences to make learning easy and fun. If you’ve got an idea for a project, we want to hear it. Please get in touch.

Who are Sister Projects?

Sister Projects are comprised of companies we’ve partnered with to provide mutual support because we share a similar vision and principles. Want to become a Sister Project? Click here to contact us.

Camp Haven

What's the purpose of Camp Haven?

Camp Haven allows you to experience life in harmony with nature. Our facility is entirely off-the-grid, so you can learn about minimalism, sustainability, permaculture, stewardship and more, while enjoying your recharge in nature.

How do I book a visit?

Go to the Camp Haven page on this site and you’ll see our camping options that range from wide open space in a tent to a peaceful tiny house nestled in nature. You can book directly from those links.

What should I bring with me?

Each campsite provides different amenities, from a beautiful open space to set up your own tent, pre-set campsites with luxury tents set up for your convenience and even a tiny cabin with a wood burning stove.

We offer low-cost firewood and unlimited water refills on-site as well as a portable composting toilet system that you can take to your campsite. Plan to bring bedding for you and your party, regardless of what site you choose, as well as a lighter or matches to tend your fire. Nights can get a bit chilly, even in the summer, so be prepared for a potential chill.

Leave your food at home and come shop at Haven Market on your way to camp (only a 10-minute drive) to stock up on delicious goodies.

Convenient extras are available for rent on arrival such as a solar shower, cots, firepit grill, grill lighters, flashlights, rechargeable lanterns and more. 

How many people can stay?

Typically, we allow up to 15–20 people per group, however, we can accommodate larger groups upon request.

How are self-care retreats personalized?

Self-care retreats offer you a welcome rest from the noise of daily life. Our gorgeous 40+ acres of wild Catskill Mountains forest provide the perfect backdrop and walking terrain for you to rest and rejuvenate.

We personalize your retreat according to your choice of minimalist accommodations. Organic food is available with your choice of the level at which you’d like to provide for yourself or order from us. We set up your choice of healing services such as massage, sound healing, Reiki etc. All services are optional if you wish to simply get away from it all. See the Camp Haven page to inquire for your rejuvenating escape.

Is there a minimum stay?

Our premium sites require a minimum two-night stay if booked on a weekend in the summer months.

Is there a bathroom or shower?

Portable composting toilets are available for you to bring to your campsite and use in private. If composting toilets aren’t your thing, that’s OK; we also offer sani-bags for collection and disposal of waste in the garbage. Lastly, public toilets are available in many of the local shops in town as well as at Haven Market. Gravity-fed solar shower kits are available for rent upon arrival.

What's there to do nearby?

The Catskill Mountains are home to some of the most incredible outdoor experiences available in the USA. Everything from hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, boating, water sports, winter sports and more, are within easy access of Camp Haven.
