Host a Meeting or Conference at Clearpool

Our facilities on our Clearpool Campus in Carmel, New York, include multiple spaces for large presentations, individual classrooms and breakout areas, most with a capacity of 45. For large groups, our Dining Hall accommodates up to 225 and offers WiFi access.

For overnight stays, five spacious cabins each provide shared sleeping quarters for up to 28 people. Cabins are heated for year-round comfort and feature two wings, each with two spacious bathrooms, and an open loft space for lounging or gathering informally.

Cow

Blossom is a 1-year-old Holstein cow, and she was born a freemartin. A freemartin calf is a common result of twin calves; the female twin absorbs genetic material from a male twin in utero, and after birth develops male traits and subsequently becomes sterile. Since Blossom can’t produce milk, the dairy farm where she was born asked Green Chimneys if we’d like to have her, and of course, we agreed! Blossom came to us around the same time as another calf named Alfie, and the two have grown up together while being cared for by staff and students alike.
