Newsletter – December Update.
Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a blessed Christmas and New Year when they come.
As the year draws to a close, there is so much to give thanks for. Since the end of camp in August 2024, the campsite planning and wider teams have been busy making preparations for the convention campsite 2025. We held a fantastic team day in the Pencil Factory with many team members attending, both in person and online, along with some of Keswick Ministries staff and supporters of the campsite for a day of training, workshops and a time of fellowship. This provided valuable time for us to consider the feedback from campers, the roles and responsibilities of those on team and look at how we can continue to deliver and build on the strong foundations of the campsite.
As always planning permission is a big undertaking and this year was no exception. We are however delighted to announce that permission for the camp in 2025 has been granted! Praise be to God for his provision and this being processed so quickly this year.
