Parenting Weekends
There is something special that happens when a parent spends deliberate time with their child and we love to see relationships strengthened and lifetime memories made through our Parenting Weekends. We believe that God has a place in our family life and we explore ways of placing God in the midst of our family relationships too.
Parenting weekends offer an opportunity for one parent and one child (9-12 years) to get away together for a weekend. We offer four throughout the year from February to September. The cost of €175 includes all activities, accommodation and food for the parent and child. (NB, children share a dorm room with other children and parents share a dorm room with other parents)
Mother & Daughter: 24th – 26th February 2017
Father & Son: 12th – 14th May 2017
Mother & Son: 8th – 10th September 2017*
Father & Daughter: 15th – 17th September 2017
*Please note that we may run a second Mother & Son Weekend if the first one fills up so be sure to register your interest with us for that by emailing emma.fawcett@scriptureunion.ie
Family Week
This year we are delighted to be able to offer two Family Weeks.
These camps provide an opportunity for the whole family to have a week together having fun, praising God, meeting new people and living in community.
Each morning and evening there are age specific groups for adults, teenagers, children and if needed, a morning creche facility. Afternoons are full of activities for the whole camp to enjoy (which is always entertaining when over 100 people arrive at the beach at the same time!) or you can take some time to yourself.
Price varies depending on accommodation and catering choice. The average price for a family of 4 (2 adults, 1 child, 1 teenager) staying in The Manor accommodation with all meals provided is €830. We also offer camping with catering and caravanning with catering or self-catering options. Please contact us if you require an exact cost before booking.
The biggest decision you will face is deciding which camp to go on once you read the bios of our speakers this year.
