Welcome to NHC's Star Island website

The Natural History Conference at Star Island is an adult conference comprised of approximately 110 people who share an interest in natural history.   The week revolves around a given topic of natural history and includes a guest "minister of the week," as well as a speaker (or speakers) of the week who is expert in the week's chosen theme.   Conferees who wish to participate will enjoy a one-hour lecture each day.

Star Island is the host of religious and educational retreats throughout the summer vacation season.  Each conference has its own identity, leaders, traditions and focus.  Visitors to this website are welcome to review the "Blue Book" to learn about other conferences that take place during the summer.

NHC welcomes new "shoalers" to this beautiful little island 10 miles off the coast of Portsmouth, NH.  Once you have experienced Star Island, we hope it will become your spiritual home and that you will want to return again and again
