Camp Bratton Green. Nestled in the northwest corner of Madison County, Mississippi, near historic Canton, Gray Center.

We will be staying in bunk filled cabins. The cabins are nice. If you must have a private room you will have to arrange for a hotel in the near by town of canton and rent a car for transportation to and from the hotel. All meals will be prepared by the camps chef. He is the best thing about the camp I hear. We will have selections for the non-meat eating folks also.
