The Holiday:
You're going to want to be a part of this. We can't believe we've managed to squeeze so much fun, laughter, chat, challenge, and goodness into the amazing time that is Woolie Taster! Everything that's great about a Venture is jam-packed into five fun-filled days. If you like sports, crafts, cookery, swimming, challenges, delicious food or just making friends, this is the place for you. Put this together with great Bible learning and space for questions and you're in for a week you won't forget!
The Location :
The home of Woolie Taster is at the wonderful Elstree School which has great facilities in a truly beautiful setting where the sun seems to shine nearly all the time. The gorgeous, classy buildings are surrounded by lawns and playing fields, tennis courts, a sports hall and a lovely outdoor swimming pool. There's table tennis, a chill-out room and lots of space for spontaneous games. There's an all-weather pitch, a play area and a long zip line. You'll be sleeping in a dorm with between six and eight other children and with three or four leaders to look after you. We all eat together in a spacious, bright dining room and we have our own fantastic chef and hardworking team of cooks who feed us like royalty.
The Activities and The Programme:
Woolie Taster is loaded with lots of fun activities like swimming, games, crafts, music, and drama. We try our very hardest to have something for everyone, especially you! We run special workshops in things like airfix kit-making, dance, football, lego, jewellery-making and tasty baking. We have the famous Woolie Splash - our all-together game where the leaders always seem to end up getting the wettest. We spend time finding out about our amazing God in our dorm groups and we have all-together meetings with exciting worship times, a talk to think about, and plenty of space to be yourself. We enjoy mealtimes together and there are lots of chances to make new friends.
The Team:
We carefully choose and encourage a wonderful group of volunteer leaders from across the country to make Woolie Taster a very special place for you to be safe and feel like you belong. Our team is made up of committed and experienced leaders of different ages who bring their individual talents and skills to make up a well-balanced mix. With God at the centre of all our efforts we all work so hard to make Woolie Taster the best place to be. Among our regular leaders we always have a number of professional children's workers, either school or church based.
