Christeen Retreat
A retreat preached for children and teenagers
A retreat for the young on their own — preached in their language, at their pace, with games, music and prayer woven through the days. No fee is asked; a free-will offering is welcome.
You will go home able to…
- Sessions preached for children and teenagers, not scaled down from the adults'.
- Prayer, music, games and time outdoors in the same day.
- Animators with the children throughout, from waking to lights out.
- No fee — a free-will offering is welcome.
The Christeen retreat is for children and teenagers without their parents. Sessions are preached in their own language and at their own pace, and animators stay with the groups through the whole retreat.
Parents leave their children at the centre on the first day and collect them on the last. When you book, tell us each child's age so that they are placed with the right group.
What it costs
There is no fee for the Christeen retreat. Families who wish to may leave a free-will offering at the office.

Before You Come
Things families ask us
The retreat is preached for a household — parents and children together. Come as a family rather than sending one member. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, ring the office and ask; nobody is turned away for asking.
Yes. The retreat is built around parents and children taking part side by side, and that is what makes it different from a retreat one person attends alone. Tell us the ages of the children when you book.
Please plan to. The retreat is designed to be lived through from beginning to end, and much of what it does depends on staying. If that is genuinely impossible for your family, speak to the office before you book.
Either ring the booking line between 9 in the morning and 5 in the evening, or send a request through this website. Nothing is paid online — a request reaches the office and the office rings you back to confirm the place.
Please ask the office when you ring. They will tell you what is expected for the retreat you have chosen and what it covers.
