Our center is the year round retreat center for the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island in Wading River, New York. The center welcomes a wide variety of groups and individuals to its beautiful site overlooking Long Island Sound, offering simple and comfortable accommodations for recreation, study, and reflection in its ministry of hospitality.

The 27-acre property is located on the bluffs of the scenic north shore of Long Island, including a quarter mile of beachfront with a 12-mile view to Connecticut. The Center's shoreline, wetlands, bluff, and woodlands, as well as the nearby vineyards, pine barrens, rivers, and beaches provide natural recreation and teaching opportunities.
