Long Term programs of the Harmony Institute that are receiving guidance from HICAB include:
Albert Schweitzer Center
The Albert Schweitzer Center (ASC) will be the center for multi-disciplinary, ecumenical studies related to the values and implementation of human interaction with animals and nature within a community also built to include technologically environmental initiatives. The name has been approved by Dr. Schweitzer's daughter Rheena Schweitzer Miller who has visited Harmony on numerous occasions and remains excited about the project honoring her father's life and philosophy, "Reverence for Life."

Camp Spirit
Camp Spirit is a place where children can develop life enriching bonds with the soil, plants, animals and the environment, as well as with each other and supportive adults, through a hands-on learning and therapeutic experience. Not a petting farm, the Camp is a place where youth organizations and classes can enhance or expand their programs by taking advantage of the experiences that can only come from a small farm setting.
Camp Spirits provides Harmony residents with regular volunteer opportunities that range from working with the menagerie of miniature agricultural animals to gardening and leading children’s activities around the Indian teepees and campfire site.
In addition to volunteer support, individuals can be a part of Camp Spirit through the "Adopt a Camp Spirit Animal" program. The Camp is home to chickens, pygmy goats, pot-bellied pigs and miniature and full size horses and cows, each of whom needs daily care and feeding. Animal adoption provides assistance in caring for the animal selected and other donations help with the expenses incurred for developing and operating the animal and garden facilities at Camp Spirit.
