Chapin Mill Retreat Center

–––––––––––––––––––––––

Chapin Mill Retreat Center is located in Western New York State about 35 miles west of Rochester and 40 miles east of Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Weather and temperatures are variable due to the close proximity to the Great Lakes. 

The retreat center is located on 135 acres, with walking paths, so you may want to bring hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers. Casual, loose-fitting, comfortable clothing will be the order of the day. Please bring indoor shoes or slippers to wear inside the facility.

Chapin Mill Retreat Center offers comfortable, handicapped-accessible, basic accommodations with single and shared bedrooms and a shared bathroom.  Please reserve early to get your first choice. The facility will provide bedding, linens, towels, and soap. However other toiletries may not be available, so please plan to bring what you need. While Internet access will be available, there will be limited time for outside work.

Food & Beverages
Meals are included, but there are dietary restrictions at Chapin Mill; no fish, meat, or alcohol. Eggs, cheese, and other dairy products are acceptable. We can accommodate special dietary needs (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, etc.).
