Inferno (15-18)

Freedom, adventure and deep faith conversations for 15-18 year olds seeking an unforgettable week with like-minded people.

Take the adventure further

‍Inferno is where independence meets adventure. Designed for 15-18 year olds, this camp gives you the freedom to craft your own experience whilst being part of an incredible community. You choose which activities you want to try – whether that's experimenting with different sailing boats, pushing yourself in kayaking or canoeing, or simply enjoying beach trips to East Head, chilling on boats and late-night campfires with new friends.

The atmosphere at Inferno is more relaxed and flexible than our younger camps, reflecting the fact that you're nearly adults. There's time to relax with friends, space to think and opportunities to engage in deeper conversations about faith, identity and the big questions that matter most at this stage of life.

Each evening, we bring in inspirational speakers who tackle real issues head-on. Their talks are followed by relaxed discussions where nothing is off-limits – doubt, purpose, relationships, suffering, social justice and what following Jesus actually looks like when you're navigating college, relationships and a complex world.

Whether you're rock-solid in your faith, full of questions or somewhere in the middle, Inferno provides a safe space to explore, challenge and grow. The week also includes legendary activities like our night-time invasion game 'Raid the Ship', DVD nights and whatever else the theme brings. This isn't just another camp – it's a week that could shape the rest of your life.

Freedom to Explore

Inferno respects that you're nearly adults. You have genuine freedom to choose your activities, manage your own time and engage at whatever level feels right. Want to go all-in on water sports? Perfect. Prefer to spend time in conversation, on beach walks or just hanging out? That's completely valid too. Your week, your way.

Honest Faith for Real Life

The evening talks at Inferno don't shy away from difficult topics. Our speakers bring fresh perspectives on what it means to follow Jesus in today's world – addressing doubt, suffering, relationships, justice and purpose with honesty and depth. Small group discussions afterwards give you space to wrestle with hard questions alongside peers who are on similar journeys.

CYE is one of those 'thin spaces' where God feels really present - in the fun, the community, and the beautiful nature around. It feels like such a warm and safe place to escape to and feel loved."

Anna

"Loved the freedom of choosing what to do and the feeling of community"

ReLoad guest

"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."

Parent of camper

"CYE family weekend gave me much needed zest – a chance to recharge both body and mind in a warm, supportive atmosphere. Kind words were shared all around and it truly felt like a bit of healing for the soul.."

Family weekend guest

“It was funny when someone turtled the boat. By the way the food is good.”

Milo, year 6

"Someone doing their trainee year can expect to grow - in so many ways - but mainly in confidence, independence and humility."

FAQs

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

Is there parking at CYE?

Yes but it is limited. If you are dropping off your child, we would ask that you do this as quickly as possible. The car park is shared with Cobnor Activity Centre and can get very congested at pick up and drop off times.

My child left something behind after their visit to CYE. Can you help?

We keep lost property items for a maximum of 1 week before giving them to charity. In order to return them we ask you to arrange a collection using the Royal Mail website. They will be able to collect the item from CYE and get it to you. Please contact the office to arrange this.

When you say there'll be some 'Christian content' what does this mean?

Christian Youth Enterprises is a Christian charitable organisation. Everyone who works at the Centre (and board of Trustees) shares the Christian faith. Whilst we believe that this is the foundation to what we do and why we do it, we are understanding and respectful of everyone's beliefs and views, whatever these are. Our aim is to share what we believe with our guests in a relevant, engaging and exciting way and encourage our guests to think about and share what they believe too.

My child isn't quite the right age, can I book them in anyway?

Our age ranges are there for safety reasons, and to maximise enjoyment for all our guests. However, we run a 3 month +/- policy, so if your child is 3 months too young, or too old, then you can contact the office to book them on. For example, if your 8 year old child wanted to come to a 9-12 year old event in April, they would need to be turning 9 by July of that year. The only exception to this is that 8 is our lowest age (except for Ignite Sleepover and 'all-age' events such as families weekends). 7 year olds cannot be booked on to events, even if they'll be 8 years old in 3 months.

Does my child need to bring any money or snacks/sweets with them?

We have a CYE shop which sells things like CYE caps, keyrings, pens etc. We normally recommend about £5-10 spending money for a residential stay. Please do not send your child with sweets or snacks as they will have plenty of food (including amazing home-made cake) whilst they're here!

My child has food they don't like/won't eat, what will happen at mealtimes to cater for them?

We have an amazing catering team who produce delicious, child-friendly, fresh food. Whilst we will always accommodate dietary requirements (allergies, vegetarian, vegan etc) we cannot accommodate individual preferences. The variety within each meal should mean that even the fussiest of eaters will be catered for.
