High Tide holidays
The 11 to 18-year-olds who meet each month for High Tide youth services also go away regularly for residential holidays, to have fun and learn more about God. These have taken place in Oxfordshire, Surrey and the Isle of Wight in recent years, and have included water slides, paint parties, kayaking, canoeing, silent discos, late-night Hunted games, archery, fencing and plenty of other activities. Each day there is also worship, prayer and Bible teaching to help the young people deepen their discipleship with God.
