Holidays
Christian Adventure Holidays run through July and August providing exciting, adventurous breaks for 12-17 year olds in the midst of breathtaking countryside! The focus is on encouraging fun, friendship and faith. They are packed with lots of great outdoor activities such as sailing, kayaking, cycling and mountain walking; as well as quality time to explore a relationship with God, the Christian life and all that it offers.

Cost
For 2026 holidays the cost per person per week is £350. When booking a non-returnable deposit of £75 is required, with the balance of the payment due BEFORE the end of April 2026.
If booking after 1st April 2026 the full payment of £350 is required to secure the booking.
All payments are made through Stripe, which accepts major credit and debit cards.
As our holidays are heavily subsidised there are no discounts available for multiple bookings. Bursaries are available for those who face difficulties in paying the full amount of £350. If you would like to apply for a bursary, please go to the Contact Us page and send us an email to begin this process. All bursaries are provided at the discretion of the Trustees.
A Typical Day!
- Breakfast! We go large on this – we need fuel for the day ahead!
- Small Groups – we have a short time to dive into the bible together!
- Activities – whether we are heading into the hills or onto the lake, we kit up and check equipment and off we go.
- Lunch! Either by the lake or in the hills – we enjoy a packed lunch together.
- Late afternoon we head back to the Manor – time to relax, rest , shower, play games before…
- Dinner! We are always hungry after a packed day!
- Light duties and preparation for the following day
- Evening Meeting – we have lots of fun as we learn what it means to live as Christian
- Supper – hot chocolate and time for a chat or a game
- Bed – and maybe even some sleep.
Location
We have the run of Bassenfell Manor – right in the midst of the Lake District near Bassenthwaite Lake. The Manor has 19 bedrooms, games rooms and an acre of private grounds for campfires and fun!
Bassenfell Manor has everything we need to be comfortable after an exhilarating day out on the lake or up in the hills. All the rooms are either ensuite or have a dedicated bathroom and our team of cooks create magic in the kitchen! Most of the rooms accommodate between 2 and 5 people and there are separate areas for males and females.
