DaySpring Episcopal Conference Center

Ethan Brewer

If you love rooms for that have never been cleaned and have ants all in them and no A/C this is the place for you. Especially if you live showers with no warm water and they have never been cleaned. Food that’s not worth serving at a prison, and not to mention you have to dodge raccoons in the middle of the night. All and all the worst place I’ve ever had to stay at.

We were thrilled to have a tour of Dayspring, the Episcopal conference center. It is located on 99 acres between Tampa and Sarasota Fla. Despite the closeness to these large cities, the large ranch and beautiful oak trees with Spanish moss create an oasis on the manatee river. There are canoes for summer camps and a beautiful pool for children of all ages. The pool has a small wading area for toddlers and lanes for lap swims as well! The chapel instills a sense of peace and has a ramp for wheelchairs! We enjoyed our tour of the grounds and facilities. This looks like a great place for social distancing as well as spiritual renewal. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. I hope to be able to participate in the activities in the years to come!

A place of beauty in a hectic world. Relaxes your mind and soul. Helpful staff, good food, observing Covid 19 safety precautions, for small group use at present. Upgrading the facilities and well worth a visit.

I attended DaySpring Episcopal Conference Center in September. My group spent one night there in the dormitories, which were surprisingly comfortable with ample amount of linens and storage area. The food, as others have stated, was delicious, including multiple variations of plates for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The staff was undoubtedly the main contributors to the high rating, being both polite and very accommodating. The grounds are deceivingly large, with new renovations on the way to modernize some of the buildings. I would recommend anyone use DaySprings for retreats and gatherings if they value friendly staff, delicious food, and ample accommodations.
