The Holiday:
The Knock@Ripon Team warmly welcomes you to Ripon Grammar School. With our very own on-site swimming pool; sports halls and fields; and art and music facilities, we are going to encounter our friend Jesus in fresh and creative ways. We can’t wait for you to join us!
The Location :
Ripon is situated in North Yorkshire. A hop, skip and a jump in any direction and you’re in the stunning Dales countryside. There are beautiful walks on our doorstep including the picturesque Studley Royal Park. Ripon Grammar School has everything we need: if the multiple 3G pitches are too wet, we can use the large indoor sports hall; there’s lots of common rooms for those who like table tennis and pool; and let’s not forget a swimming pool just for us to use! Our home for the week is cosy indoor bedrooms, each of which sleep 2 to 4 people. To help feel at home, you will bring your own bedding, so choose a favourite duvet or a snuggly sleeping bag, a sheet and a pillow for a great night’s sleep in wonderful Ripon.
The Activities and The Programme:
Come and join us for an adventure filled week. With our friends Rock UK, you will take part in a range of outdoor activities (in previous years we have been rock climbing, paddleboarding and had a go at archery). There’s lots of opportunities for wide games, sports, crafts, swimming and hanging out with your new friends. Intertwined in our jam-packed programme we will ‘Connect’ with God in our morning Bible sessions and see our faith ‘Ignite’ in our evening worship slot. Come join us on this incredible adventure Jesus invites you on.
The Team:
Our team is filled with every generation represented and we are all united by the same God and passion. A passion for loving Jesus and a desire to spread the Gospel to young people. The Overall Leader names you see on the website came to faith on camp and that drives everything we do. We have lots of experience in running a Venture too. In fact, some of us were children ourselves when we first got involved all those years ago…. now that’s a great advert, don’t you think?!
