British Isles Summer Camp 2017

July 28, 2017 - 12:00am EDT to August 06, 2017 - 12:00am EDT

Peak Centre (see www.peakcentre.org.uk/) offers self-contained, bunk-bed accommodation for a community of up to 40 or more campers and staff.

Edale, set in a scenic valley surrounded by hills, lies within the Peak District National Park. Manchester International Airport (MAN), around 30 miles from the Peak Centre, has good bus and train connections to the Edale area.

Facilities will allow campers and staff to create an integrated community for all activities, meals and associated housekeeping opportunities. Activities will be arranged both indoors and outdoors, including some away from the Peak Centre—such as hiking in the hills of the National Park and, possibly, an overnight adult-supervised camping expedition.

While camp’s primary target age-range is the teen years, it also welcomes younger campers accompanied by a parent or older sibling. The older teens will be offered responsibilities for which they will interact with both adult staff and younger campers.

Our theme for camp will be “The Game of Life.” Camp will challenge campers to understand the theme, to know their team and their opponent, and to understand which rules are crucial to win the game of life. Together, we will explore and experience what the Bible tells us about this game of life and what we can do to make it to the end. All of this will be accompanied by the fellowship opportunities available within a community of like-minded campers and staff.

To allow us to develop a suitable program, will both campers and staff please apply as soon as possible, to give us time to match activities to the age range of the campers.
