The Holiday:
Relaxing on the lawns…taking a dip in the pool…playing football on the Astroturf…being
creative in the art studio - there’s something for everyone at Lakeview Junior. At the heart of
the week are daily talks exploring the Christian faith. We’d love you to come, especially if
you’ve not been before! We reserve spaces for members at or with links to our Partner
Churches and returning members. If you don’t fit into any of those categories, please
email Louise Batt first to discuss availability.
The Location :
Royal Alexandra And Albert School with its three lakes, serpentine and 260 acres of
parkland provides the ideal setting for our venture. Just off the M25, the School has its own
indoor swimming pool as well as grass pitches, floodlit netball courts, Astroturf pitch and
sprints track. It also has a dance studio and performing arts centre. It should be an amazing
week for all!
We stay in boarding houses in dormitories between 2-8 people. There are separate blocks
for boys and girls, each with plenty of good bathroom facilities close to the dormitories. The
leaders stay in dormitories near the teenagers’ rooms. There is plenty of space to chill out
other than in dormitories too.
The Activities and The Programme:
Mornings are usually spent on-site making the most of the excellent facilities, including a
swimming pool, Astroturf, grass pitches and a performing arts centre. Afternoons are a
mixture of on-site and off-site activities. We have lots of exciting things planned to make use
of the amazing grounds. We also have (sometimes messy) team games and time to chill.
Each day we spend time together looking into the Christian faith through short, stimulating
talks given by the leaders and group discussions. If you are new to Ventures or Christianity
you’ll have the chance to find out more and ask questions.
The Team:
We have a fantastic team of leaders that reflects a great mix of personalities - from quiet to
energetic! All of us are excited about a great week to have fun and find out more about
Christianity together.
