Want to do something different this summer? Come and join the fun at this year's Scottish Episcopal Church Youth Weeks: Glen 07. This year's theme is 'Longing for Light'.
What is Glen?
The Scottish Episcopal Church Youth Weeks happen each year in August when young people and leaders from all over Scotland gather together for six days of sports, swimming, arts and crafts workshops, fun events, worship and conversation.
It is an action-packed holiday week with a difference. There is plenty of time to relax, make good friends and generally have the best time. This year there will be two separate weeks in response to demand; you can attend only one:
Week 1: Sunday 29 July to Saturday 4 August 2007
Week 2: Sunday 5 August to Saturday 11 August 2007
Who's it For?
The Youth Weeks are open to anyone in secondary education up to, and including, July 2007; also those under 18 years old who have left full-time education. You must be sponsored by your local Scottish Episcopal Church congregation.
Where?
The Youth Weeks happen at Glenalmond in Perthshire. The college is set in magnificent grounds about 10 miles from Perth. It has superb facilities which include an indoor swimming pool, sports hall, sports fields, squash courts, dedicated arts and music facilities, and much more.
New and varied menus at every meal are provided in the magnificent dining hall. Accommodation is in modern halls of residence, in single or twin rooms. Each room has its own wash-hand basin and there are ample shower facilities in each house. Sheets are provided, but you must bring a sleeping bag or duvet.
How Much?
The total cost of the Week is subsidised by the Scottish Episcopal Church. In order to contribute to these costs it is suggested that each person pays £100.00, and your local church vestry pays £80.00.
