Would you like to go on a fantastic camping adventure? Join us at Bedfordshire Camps for three days of real camping in the great outdoors. We’ll be doing lots of fun activities and games in a beautiful location that’s not too far from home.

What activities will there be?

You can enjoy lots of different exciting activities, such as team challenges, volleyball, tug of war, crafts, nerf gun battles and archery. We’ll also have a riverside walk, a campfire under the stars and of course, bucket loads of fun!

Each day we'll have time together to explore what the Bible says about who Jesus is. We'll do this through songs, fun quizzes and engaging Bible stories. There will also be opportunity in your small group time to talk about what you've heard or to ask questions. 

Who’s camp for?

Anyone in school years 4–7 can come. Why not bring a friend with you – and make some new ones? We want everyone to feel welcome and included at the camp. 

Where will we stay?

We’ll be sleeping under canvas by the river at the fantastic Jordan’s Close campsite in the Ouse Valley (see below for map). The campsite is top notch, with a wash block, hot showers and an indoor dining room. The site is enclosed and self-contained with no public access.

What about food?

We love food on camp, and there will always be plenty. Please let us know when you book if you have any dietary requirements or allergies.
