Helping young people know and love Jesus while having the time of their lives.
Gatton has been running in Gatton Park at Reigate since 2019. Before that we were in Colwyn Bay, North Wales for many years, when we were known as Colwyn Bay 3 (or CB3).
Our team is made up of a mixture of those who’ve been around for decades and new people each year, which helps to keep us fresh and provide a source of new ideas and fun! Lots of team and young people come back year on year, and we love to see friendships develop on the holiday and last for years to come, team as well as young people! We have a great tradition of young people coming back to join the team once they’re too old to be members, initially on the Support Team (for those aged 18-20). The Support Team help out with serving meals, making pack lunches, washing up, helping with activities and generally keeping things going – we couldn’t do Gatton without them!
Our team love to see young people come to know and to love Jesus, and that’s our big motivating factor for running Gatton... all while having a brilliant holiday together as well.
