It’s one of those well known facts that weekends away change lives and young people remember them for years to come. They remember the fun and laughter and they remember their encounters with God. For some it’s the first time they give their lives to Him.
It’s also a well known fact that weekends away take an awful lot of planning and organsing.
Can you relate to any of the statements below?
-
“We should run a residential for our group but I just don’t know where to start!”?
- “I’d love to take them on summer camp but a week is too long away from home.”
- “This bunch would gobble up an activity weekend but they just can’t afford it.”
- “I haven’t got time to organise a weekend away from scratch and run it.”
- “I would love the three young people in my church to meet with other young Christians and see that they are not the only Christians in their town.”
If you’ve said yes to any of the statements above, then you really should read more about Spree Wales!
What is Spree Wales?
Spree Wales is an inspirational and action-packed camping weekend! Spree is fast-moving with choices galore – water sports, inflatables, bicycles, archery and much more … or for those who prefer relaxing there’s a cafe marquee, workshops and a prayer zone – a dedicated area where you can talk to ‘The Boss’.
There are several streams of teaching sessions in both English and Welsh featuring a high-energy programme of inspirational teaching, audience participation, music, laughter and the odd messy game thrown in for good measure! These sessions are designed to present the Good News of Jesus Christ in a way that is exciting, challenging and relevant to your everyday life.
There is a Leaders’ Marquee where group leaders can go to relax while their groups are occupied and meet other leaders – with free tea, coffee and cake.
Spree Wales is run by a large group of Christian organisations who not only love young people but love their leaders too! We know how much you care about your young people and we want to do everything within our power (and God’s) to put on a life-changing event for your group!
