The Deanery Project
The Deanery Project is a not-for-profit organization with a focus on the environment, youth and community, natural building, and the arts. We are open year round offering programs and projects connected to a wide variety of learning, recreational, and research opportunities, especially those related to energy, forests, health, active transportation and rural living.
The Deanery Project is located on a beautiful 25-acre ocean-front property just 65 km east of Halifax, in Lower Ship Harbour on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. Our facilities include a spacious community hall; a commercial kitchen; dorm-style accommodations; unique outdoor classrooms, and diverse camping, hiking and bicycling trails. The property extends to the shoreline of Ship Harbour providing water access to the protected wilderness areas of Ship Harbour Long Lake, Tangier Grand and the 100 Wild Islands.
