Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning

Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning is a retreat and conference centre in Beavercreek, close to Dayton, Ohio, set within the peaceful grounds of Mount Saint John. It provides a calm, well-equipped environment for organisations planning retreats, workshops, seminars, conferences, educational programmes and residential group gatherings.

The centre offers six meeting rooms in a range of sizes, suitable for groups from around 10 to 150 people. Rooms are equipped with projectors, screens, flip charts, tables, chairs and Wi-Fi, helping organisers run presentations, training sessions, discussion groups and formal meetings with ease. Two chapels are also available, including a larger space that can be used for prayer, liturgical services or as an additional meeting room.

Bergamo supports residential events with 60 bedrooms, including single and twin rooms, with some rooms able to accommodate three guests. Private bathrooms, Wi-Fi and individual heating or air conditioning provide practical comfort for overnight participants. The centre’s full-service kitchen prepares breakfast, lunch, dinner and refreshment breaks, with meals served buffet-style in the dining room. Coffee, soft drinks, appetisers and snacks can also be arranged for group programmes.

The natural setting adds an appealing dimension to the event experience. Organisers can offer attendees time outdoors, quiet reflection and informal conversation across the 150-acre campus, which includes landscaped grounds, wooded trails and places for meditation. Bergamo also hosts youth retreats and adult personal development programmes, making it suitable for schools, churches, charities, community groups and businesses seeking a focused venue with accommodation, catering and on-site support.
