Canterbury is a non-profit corporation affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida. In the fall of 1982, Canterbury opened its doors to accommodate groups of many different sizes.  Starting with 2 buildings, 30 lodging rooms, and 2 meeting rooms, Canterbury has had the opportunity to grow and prosper.
Currently, the facility includes 45 lodging rooms, three meeting/conference rooms, St. Augustine’s Chapel, with the capacity for 130 people, and a boardwalk with gazebo. Nestled on 48 acres, our guests enjoy a peaceful setting surrounding Lake Gem.
Each of our lodging rooms has a private bath, room for single or double occupancy, and two chairs with a writing table for any necessary work.  We are also fully handicapped accessible.
Canterbury’s three meeting/conference rooms, located in two different buildings, can accommodate groups of various sizes.  We also provide A/V equipment for your conference including: TV/VCR, microphone, overhead projector/screen, dry erase easels, easels with paper and markers, and portable stereo.
Canterbury’s meals are served in our beautiful lakeside dining room.  Meals are prepared by our professional staff and served cafeteria style.  Along with the three regular meal times, the option of a continental breakfast, snacks, barbecue, reception, or banquet are also obtainable.  Outside the dining room, a patio with tables and chairs, over looking Lake Gem, gives you the option of eating or relaxing.
Along with our indoor activities, Canterbury has several outside activities surrounding Lake Gem.  A one  mile nature trail allows you to experience the different trees, bushes, and wild life around the lake.  Lakeside events include canoes, pedal boats, and fishing (bring your own gear).  Also available are volleyball, and a challenge course.
