Welcome to Holden Village
Over the course of 50 years, Holden Village has been transformed from a copper mining town to a vibrant place of education, programming, and worship. Holden invites people of all ages to come and experience our rhythms, which inspire and equip travelers for a sustainable life of faith outside the Village.
June 18-22 & 25-29: Natalie Perkins
Join us in the Village for sessions with renowned actress, chaplain, and songwriter Natalie Perkins, June 18-22 & 25-29! Designed to accompany Hal Taussig's session, Natalie will lead the class in designing and enacting a short musical in Acting and Singing Thecla: Her Story Comes Alive – a story of Thecla, a young woman who rejects family and battles violent Roman government to join the Apostle Paul to become a teacher and healer like him.

Glass Recycling Eliminated in Chelan
Due to the recent elimination of glass recycling in Chelan and the nature of Holden’s waste management system, we ask that guests bringing beverages into the Village opt for plastic or aluminum containers or take glass with you at the end of your stay to recycle downlake. Thank you for helping us minimize our negative impact on the environment!
