Where unforgettable adventures meet lifelong friendships.
Kepplewray is run by Christian volunteers, some of whom have been running it for 25 years. We have new faces on the team every year who bring fresh inspiration aimed at creating the most memorable holiday possible.
We are passionate about sharing the Christian faith with young people and equipping them to be salt and light in their own generation. We prioritise time spent learning from the Bible because we want every young member to grow into adulthood knowing God for themselves.
We want them to know that He has a purpose and a plan for their lives and that they can be equipped to fulfil that potential by knowing Him. We are ardent about bringing our older members into leadership and so we provide skills training and leadership experience for them on our holiday.
