    My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as part of the Mum's and Daughter's event. The team are amazing and are attentive to all our needs. My daughter is a reserved character but was able to unfold as I could be at a distance but still able to offer support. What a great way of introducing a child into independence! So much so she is returning in the summer for camp - alone. I have no worries sending her as I know she'll be in safe, encouraging hands.

    Fantastic house set in huge grounds, that give it the feel of being in the countryside. It's run by an amazing team of staff and volunteers who's aim is to give children a fun, action packed holiday, whilst telling them about the Christian faith. If your children haven't been, book them in!

    Fantastic facilities and wonderful staff and volunteers. Our child loved every minute of the camp, she cried on leaving and can't wait for her next visit. Her additional needs were catered for without a batted eyelid. Well done everyone involved.

    My 2 boys 8&11 just back from a stay. To quote, very friendly, very big, great fun, very good all round. They can't tell me anything they disliked apart from having to come home!

    This is an amazing holiday centre, really well organised and a lot of fun. The estate has been lovingly restored and has a well thought out program involving canoes, rafts, mud obstacle courses, crafts, all sorts of games to keep kids interested and active. Very popular and booked throughout the year. Health and safety and security are all in place making this a fab place for families to be able to have a lot of fun while also staying safe.

    We sent our granddaughter for the first time and she loved it. She is booked to go again in December 2023. The time is well structured, with down time built in. Thoroughly recommend this centre.

    This is a great place to send your children for a holiday camp. All the volunteers are trained very well and the children have such a fun time. They learn about Jesus but in a way which is enjoyable for everyone including those who know nothing about him.

    If you wish your children to be broad minded Christians then don’t send them here. I as an LGBT person, when applying to volunteer on the work team preparing summer camps was told, that my ‘lifestyle choices weren’t in line with Organisational Values.’ Their ministry has an anti LGBT rhetoric, which wouldn’t be spotted by the children who attend. They may be preaching Christian ministry but not in the way Jesus would’ve behaved. They’re outdated and prejudiced through their preaching and through their narrow minded selection of volunteers. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!
