Come and join us at Ashburnham Place for a fun packed weekend. We are really excited to be able to meet together to forge new friendships and build on those made at Revive. We are looking forward to going to a new venue which offers fantastic facilities, bedrooms and food!
For this year’s Revive Youth Retreat we will be seeking to find ‘True Joy’ in Christ! We will be exploring what ‘true joy’ looks like and how it is found perfectly in relationship with Jesus. We will be thinking about how Jesus wants to clothe us with garments of praise and strengthen us in His joy. Jesus is the answer to the absence of joy and sadness we sometimes experience in our world, He is our great Rescuer and Saviour. There will be powerful worship, anointed preaching and lots of opportunities to connect with others over outdoor activities, squad team building challenges and evening events!
We are excited this year to be able to offer a coach again for youth who live in London. This will depart from Forest Hill, so you will need to get your youth to Forest Hill by the agreed time on Tuesday morning. Youth will also need to be collected from Forest Hill on Thursday evening.
If you do not live in London, or would like to make your own way there, please select the ticket that does not include travel.
Tickets Explained
Why are there so many different ticket prices this year?
It’s really difficult to meet the needs of our youth when people book in very last minute. It means it is hard to plan the groups, accommodation, snacks, merchandise and meet safeguarding ratios. We are therefore introducing an incentive for people to book in early, by subsidising the ticket of those who book in by the end of November. These tickets are ‘pay now’ tickets. If you book during the month of January you will have to pay the full ticket price of £141.

Important Information:
This event is for youth who regularly attend church. We will be requesting a reference from church leaders to confirm regular attendance on Sunday mornings.
This weekend is open to youth in Year 7 to Year 13
This weekend is a ‘mobile phone-free’ event. We believe a phone detox is very effective and a powerful way to encourage youth to engage with Jesus, and one another, in a deeper and more meaningful way. Youth are expected to leave their phones at home and we will provide an emergency mobile number in case you need to contact the youth while they are away. This information will be given when the booking has been confirmed.
We will be asking our youth to sign an agreement of behaviour which outlines our expectations in terms of bedtimes, conduct towards peers and leaders, and the use of social media. This will be sent out to the youth once the bookings are confirmed and youth will not be able to go on the weekend away if they do not agree.
