The Uplands Center

The Uplands is a not-for-profit Retreat Center located 2.5 hours outside NYC on 290 acres of tranquil farm and woodlands in the sweeping hills of the western Catskills. The center offers a venue to meet, reflect and grow for individuals and groups who share a common mission to care for others or facilitate change in the world. Its twin missions are (1) to empower changemakers by providing a dynamic setting for innovative program design, co-creation, and brainstorming and (2) to revitalize those who serve others, by offering restorative and growth-promoting experiences (groups hosted include first responders, health care practitioners, educators, and social service providers). The Center offers meeting spaces for team-building, sharing and innovation, as well as spa amenities (massage, pool, sauna, hot-tub), yoga, meditation and creative arts studios, all amid the peaceful serenity of a natural setting of extraordinary beauty. We work closely with you to co-create intimate multi-day retreats to achieve your group's goals.
