Events

The Athelington Family Camp and the Hothorpe Hall Conference take place on alternate years.

Athelington

Dates for 2010: FRIDAY 30th July - FRIDAY 6th August.

The Athelington Camp is held on a farm in Suffolk and is an inexpensive family holiday with the freedom to come and go as you please. Numerous activities are organised during the day for all age groups. Each day begins with Bible ministry and a children's meeting. Our main speaker for the morning Bible ministry will be High Collier. Hugh is pastor of Gt Ellingham Baptist Church, Norfolk. Hugh will preach on Saturday evening and Monday-Thursday mornings. Evenings have a focus on world mission, with input from GBM missionaries who will be with us for the week. There is also a children's meeting each morning.

 

Because of issues of availability at Athelington we are holding our camp from Friday to Friday rather than Saturday to Saturday. We hope that many campers may find Friday to be an easier day to travel. A booking form is available from Mission Centre or can be downloaded here as a PDF.

Athelington Hall Farm will have eleven log cabins available for hire, and there will also be space for caravan hook-ups, and for tents.

 

 

Youth Camp

Our Roothill summer youth camp this year will be from 21st – 31st August 2010. This is a camp for young people aged 17+. At the heart of Roothill we have an organised programme of Bible talks each morning, and our main speaker this year is Stuart Harding from Southport. John Heron (from Sharnbrook Evangelical, Beds.) will also be coming to speak over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Each day we go out for trips by car (bowling, laserquest, beach, or walking) or play games on site (football, cricket, rounders, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, snooker, table football). Each evening we welcome missionaries and others who come to inspire us to think big about what God is doing in the world & how we might be involved in His mission.

The camp is held at Roothill farm, the home of Ralph and Rachel Hollands, set at the foot of the North Downs in the beautiful Surrey Hills. You can bring your own tent or share one of the excellent Roothill tents. All meals and meetings take place in the Good News Barn.

Roothill Camp brochure and booking form is downloadable as a PDF here or can be obtained from Mission Centre.

 

Hothorpe Hall

Hothorpe Hall is a biennial residential holiday conference providing full board accommodation, with daily Bible ministry and missionary input, including a children’s programme.

We organize a varied programme of activities and excursions to places of interest.

The next holiday will be from 30th July to 6th August 2011. John Benton from Chertsey Street Baptist Church, Guildford, will be our main speaker.
