JUNIOR KILBRONEY ADVENTURE CAMP 2025 | The Kilbroney Centre
Cultural Experiences
We are pleased to announce that the Kilbroney Adventure Camps are now open for bookings and we are really looking forward to welcoming young people to these 5 days of fun and faith-filled residentials.
It is our intention to run the camps as normally as possible and so they will involve the usual mix of outdoor activities, games, worship, teaching, small groups and campfires. The Kilbroney Centre has made some exciting changes to develop new outdoor areas, refurbish the accommodation and extend the Games room for larger meetings.
Cost:
Cost per person is £185
with £65 deposit* asked when booking and the £120 balance payable by arrival. The cost for siblings is reduced by 15% (to £157.25) with £92.25 payable by arrival. We realise that this is an important opportunity for young people so if you or a family you know are struggling to pay this amount then please contact us about bursaries available.
(*Deposit does not include Eventbrite booking fee)
Refund Information: We aim to provide refunds if a young person is unable to attend. However, from mid-May 2025 onwards, refunds will not be available for cancellations made after this date, except in exceptional circumstances.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF CAMP
Morning and Evening Blast
is a time for everyone to get together for worship and to open to Bible to hear what it is that God is saying to us in our lives.
Small Groups
occur after evening blast and provide an opportunity to talk a little bit about the day past, what we learned about life and God and to pray together.
Group Activities
are activities and team challenges that campers get to do together as a group. On Junior Camp these may include canoeing and kayaking, climbing, archery, paintball, team challenges and river walks.
Evening Events
are activities for everyone each evening including campfire, glow stick walks, hunt the leaders and nightline.
