Youth Camps

Each year the church in the British Isles offers a number of camps for children and young people. At these camps children have the opportunity to share with others from around the British Isles in a mixed range of activities including games, discussions and worship. This is to give an overview of the camps that are taking place in 2008.

All of the camps are taking place at Dunfield House, a large house owned by the church and used for youth camps since the 1960s. Dunfield House stands in the beautiful Welsh border country about two miles west of Kington Herefordshire. Situated in 15 acres of parkland, Dunfield, provides an excellent facility for children to have an enjoyable time. Dunfield House can accommodate 98 people, 73 in the house and 25 in the Mews (converted stable block).
