Youth Camp Travel by Rail

We had a wet start to the day at camp but the tents kept us all dry through the night. It was eggy bread for breakfast before we went to Whitby train station. This is where we met Archdeacon Bill who joined us for the day! We all took the historic train through the moors to Goathland. We spent an hour doing activities around the station before eating lunch. It took us two different trains to get back to Whitby…

Youth Group Gets Historic

We’ve had a fantastic day heading across the North Yorkshire Moors. First we drove to Scarborough Castle where the youngsters all earned a badge for running around finding facts and completing the history booklet using a quill. Then they were put in the stocks and climbed the high tower. We made our way back to Whitby Abbey where we had lunch. Then we heard about Saint Hilda and the council of Whitby. I am amazed at how the youngsters will…

Youth Camp Begins!

We really love hospitality so as always there was cake! “Tea time church is a wonderful place for everyone to explore the meaning of life whilst…

Youth Group Hit The Beach!

For the final day of 2023’s Holy Nativity Youth Group Camp, we hit the beach! Having looked at the long range forecast we decided that Friday was the best day. After a hearty breakfast we filled our day sacks and hiked to Runswick Bay. Digging holes, burying each other in the sand and learning to float in the sea was the order of the day. After a steep climb up the hill to the minibus, we went to Beacon Farm…

Youth Group vs the Knights!

What a day we had as we battled against the elements and won! With a shaky looking weather forecast we got into the minibus with our waterproofs and headed to Scarborough Castle!

Youth Group Christmas

We’ve had a lot of fun at Youth Group in the Autumn term. We finished with a Christmas party at which David made us play the silliest of games – I can remember eating Dairy Milk with a knife and fork when I was a kid! For the last Youth Group of 2022 we decided to go ten pin bowling! What a fun night that was. And it is always entertaining to see the smallest kids try to eat the…
