At a glance
Overview
Canonicus Camp & Conference Center is the American Baptist Churches of RI retreat property at 54 Exeter Road in Exeter — about 300 acres of woodland around Lake Adams. As of April 2025, the site is closed for camping and conferences; ABCORI's board voted to sell in 2024 and delegates blocked the sale in April 2025, with the future use unresolved. Treat this page as a reference — the waterfront has always been a private camp beach, not a public swim.
