Did you know that guest fees only cover 60% of the cost to operate the Village? It’s expensive to run a remote mountain village and all the activities that happen here! We rely on donations to help make up the difference and support Holden’s mission.

When you bid on delightfully unique items and experiences offered by the extended Holden community, your donation helps provide:

  • Sessions with expert teaching faculty on topics including ecology, art, justice, theology, music, and more!
  • Supplies for the Art Studios
  • Outdoor gear for the Hike Haus
  • Stipends, salaries, benefits, and/or room and board for the staff who keep the Village running
  • Ingredients for delicious home cooked meals from the Holden Kitchen
  • Candles, bulletins, and worship supplies
  • Maintenance for the fleet of vehicles that transport visitors to and from the boat dock
  • Bedding, towels, and pillows for a comfy and cozy stay
  • Laundry, and cleaning supplies
  • Ice cream for the Snack Bar
  • And SO much more!

Village of Imagination: Remembering the Wolverine Fire

When the Wolverine fire bore down on Holden Village in 2015, I was working as a counselor at Christikon Lutheran Bible camp in Montana’s Absaroka–Beartooth Wilderness. I remember dramatic videos and photos of fire appearing on my social media feeds. I had been aware of Holden Village for years, but the summer of 2015 was the first time the community truly worked its way into my consciousness.

Support Holden Village

Holden Village’s vision is to cultivate a more just, sustainable, and compassionate world.
In a world that is deeply divided and frantically paced, Holden Village welcomes dialogue and questions. Drawing from wisdom shared by teaching faculty and the community, Holden holds space to discern faithful and just responses to the critical issues of our time.

Visit Holden Village This Summer!

It’s not too late to join us for the summer! Make a reservation today to enjoy summer beauty in the Village.

Education

Holden Village is a community where your questions are valued and encouraged. Most programs led by visiting teaching faculty occur during the summer months. However, Holden also invites faculty to teach sessions for special events and retreats throughout the rest of the year.
