About Us

More Than a Place to Stay —
A Space to Belong

Harris Hill Youth Center sits on the quiet hills of Elmira, offering a peaceful retreat from the noise of everyday life. Whether you're leading a youth group, hosting a family reunion, or planning a weekend retreat, our facility provides the comfort and space your group needs.

We believe that great gatherings start with the right environment — one that feels welcoming, safe, and inspiring. Our cabins and common areas are designed to bring people together, whether around a campfire under the stars or in our warm lodge during a crisp morning.
