Through hard work, generous contributions and God's amazing grace Gaines is open once again and available for residential youth retreats!

Now part of the wider ministry of Camp XL, we have been hosting youthgroup retreats and weekends away (plus our own programme of camps and houseparties) since the start of 2010.

If you're looking for a venue to take your youthgroup or school CU for a weekend away, we can provide a tailor-made package just for you that includes all the Bible teaching, activities, food and accomodation.

All you have to do is get them here!

You'll find much of what you need to know here on these pages. Start by taking a look, then contact us for more information.

"I commend this bold initiative to secure the Gaines Christian Youth Centre for ongoing Christian use and develop it as a base for imaginative and faithful Bible teaching. This enterprise deserves warm support."
