Camp Hardtner is a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana. For over 65 years Hardtner has offered a place of retreat, recreation, and spiritual exploration and worship for young and old alike.
Our camp and conference center is situated on 160 acres in the Piney Woods region of central Louisiana. Our setting offers a space apart for creating a stronger bond with God and His community. Our goal is to deliver Holy Hospitality to each and every guest that visits the property.
Hospitality
"Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place....Hospitality is not a subtle invitation to adopt the lifestyle of the host, but the gift of a chance for the guest to find their own." -Henri Nouwen
Whether you are looking for a summer camp for your child or a location for your next conference, meeting, retreat, or celebration, Camp Hardtner is the place!

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
