School and Youth Camps

Ridgecrest is an ideal venue for school and church youth camps.

Whether it’s a “getting to know your year group” camp, a leadership development camp, a service camp, or a spiritual retreat, Ridgecrest can equip you with great food, facilities and accommodation. We can provide packed lunches for groups that are participating in offsite activities and we can help facilitate a range of onsite activities as required.

A range of onsite activities can be provided to help develop teamwork, communication, leadership, creative thinking, decision making, problem solving, resilience and trust.

A recent student visitor commented … 

"This has been the best camp ever!"
