Blaze (12-15)

High-energy week of activities, friendships and inspiring faith talks designed specifically for 12-15 year olds.

launch into bigger adventures

‍Blaze takes everything up a notch. This action-packed week is designed for 12-15 year olds who want to push themselves, try new things and have the time of their lives. With sailing, raft building, kayaking, archery tag, tunnelling, football and more - we pack as much as possible into every day, all tied together by this year's exciting theme.

There are lots of blaze events on each year, giving more young people the chance to experience the atmosphere at CYE - there's nowhere quite like it. You'll be out on the water, tackling challenges on land and enjoying the freedom to choose your own adventure throughout the week.

Evenings bring a different pace. Gather round the campfire, chill with new friends and hear from inspirational speakers who give relevant, challenging talks about the Gospel. These aren't stuffy sermons, they're honest, thought-provoking messages that connect faith to the real issues you're facing as a young person today. Discussion groups give you space to ask the big questions and dig deeper into what you believe.

Whether you're questioning faith, committed to following Jesus or somewhere in between, Blaze welcomes you exactly as you are. This is where lasting friendships are forged, confidence is built and faith becomes real.

Choose Your Own Adventure

At Blaze, you have the freedom to shape your own week. Want to spend every moment on the water? Go for it. Prefer land-based activities? That works too. Our experienced instructors adapt sessions to suit everyone – from complete beginners to those ready for high-adrenaline challenges. It's your camp, your choices.

Real Conversations About Faith

Every evening features a relaxed talk from a speaker who gets what it's like to be a teenager today. They tackle real questions about God, purpose, identity and living out faith in the modern world. Follow-up discussions in small groups give you space to process, question and share honestly with people who actually listen.

"The one thing that made such a difference, and which they have spoken about the most, was the kindness of the leaders in the discussion groups."

FAQs

Let us put your mind at rest.  Please do get in touch if you have any other questions.

What shall I/my child bring when they go to CYE?

There's no need to go out and spend lots of money buying new equipment and clothing. We have a full kit list of what you need to bring here. We provide specific things such as wetsuits, buoyancy aids, and waterproofs. Please do call us if you have any questions about kit.

There are some things I need you to know about my child before they come to CYE (medical/need to know/bedwetting/allergies/SEND information). How is it best to share this information with you?

For your child to have the best and safest time possible with us, it is important that you alert us to anything you think we need to know about their needs. There are very few things that we haven't come across before and our staff are excellent at discreetly supporting, encouraging and keeping an eye out for whatever help is needed.

I can't afford the fees - can you help?

Please investigate our Bursary Fund! It's there for people who wouldn't be able to come to our events for financial reasons. We endeavor to remove as many barriers as possible from people being able to come to CYE. The process is discrete and confidential and CYE may be able to cover up to 40% of the fees for young people under 25. You can read more about the Bursary fund here. If you want to apply, Download the form and send it to bursary@cye.org.uk.
