Duncan M. Gray Episcopal Camp & Conference Center

Gray Center is a camp and conference centre in Canton, Mississippi, offering a peaceful setting for conferences, retreats, meetings, group stays and organised activities. Set within a spacious wooded site with lakes, cabins and dedicated accommodation, the centre gives organisers a practical base for residential events away from the distractions of the city.

The venue welcomes a wide range of groups, including churches, schools, community organisations, corporate teams and retreat leaders. Its facilities are suited to conferences, workshops, training sessions, faith-based gatherings, team meetings and multi-day programmes. Organisers can combine meeting space with overnight accommodation, shared meals, outdoor activities and time for informal networking or relaxation.

Accommodation includes the Inn, with 21 air-conditioned guest rooms, as well as cottages arranged around Gray Center Lake. The cottages include bedrooms, private bathrooms, shared meeting areas, kitchens, fireplaces and lake-facing outdoor space. Rose Hill House provides a more private group setting for up to 20 guests, while Camp Bratton-Green offers rustic cabins for larger groups and youth programmes.

The surrounding grounds support a variety of group experiences, with lake activities, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, hiking, nature activities, a challenge course and recreation facilities. The location can therefore work well for organisers planning a focused conference, church retreat, educational stay, residential workshop or corporate gathering with space for both structured sessions and outdoor downtime.

With on-site accommodation, a scenic environment and facilities designed for group use, Gray Center provides a flexible option for organisers seeking a retreat-style conference venue in the Jackson metropolitan area.
