While we do offer a built-in camping option for this conference, if that's not your thing, you will want to stay near near Sacred Heart Camp, located at 87 St Francis Raywick Rd, St Francis, KY 40062 (it is where the planned conference programming will take place on June 11th-14th). The opening event is at Log Still's The Legacy (605 Dant Head Rd, New Haven, KY 40051).
There are also retreat options at the Abbey of Gethsemani, Sisters of Loretto, and Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
One important thing to factor when choosing your stay is what you conference experience to be. While scheduled programming will usually take place at the Sacred Heart Camp, some people may want to spend more time exploring Bardstown's tourist sites, or journeying to the historical churches in the area.
While the conference itself takes place from June 11th to June 14th, you may not necessarily have to go home right after. You could also possibly get here a few days earlier to make time for more exploration.
