Shownotes

Helen Christopher is a former elementary teacher turned hospitable host, author, and event planner in Upstate New York. In 2021, she bought a former girls summer camp called Brookledge which offers guests 60 acres of cabins, glamping tents, and event space. As owner, she helps guests reconnect with nature and disconnect from their hectic lives. Helen has been featured in the Times Union, Ramble and Roam blog, and Connecting Roads. In 2023, look for her in the book Hospitable Hosts (second edition). She now lives with her family and two dogs in what was once the nurse’s office at Brookledge and enjoys camp life every day. 

Helen joins the show today to discuss how she came across Brookledge and what led her to buy the property, how she and her husband had to seriously downsize after moving into the Brookledge nurse’s office, and their proximity to Saratoga Springs, NY, a nearby tourist destination.
