18+ Summer Camp 2025
18+ residentials are held at various locations. The Young People’s Committee are running an 18+ Summer Camp at Kidlwick New Church Centre in Yorkshire. It will be held from 27th June – 2nd July, and is a drop-in, so you can come for the times that suit you.
Please visit this page to find out about 18+ Weekends.
People can arrive anytime on Friday afternoon. Please can individuals contact a member of the YPC when they think they will arrive then we can arrange for the building to be open and have someone there to greet them.
The week is run as a ‘drop in’ so young people are welcome to stay for as much or as little as they like.
The costs are £15 per night which includes food. If you are only there for a day rather than staying over, we ask for a £2.50 contribution per meal.
We are a relaxed group – we have asked what activities you are interested in doing on our booking form. Last year we often had a group discussion at what we would like to do and took the weather into consideration to decide what we wanted to do during the week.
On Saturday morning we will be joined by Chris Chambers who will be leading spiritual sessions for us.
Sunday morning is a trip out – we will be attending Keighley Church for their service. We will be having lunch at Keighley Church and are assisting Keighley with giving the car park a surface refresh.
