Where you'll be staying
For residential trips and other overnight stays, you’ll sleep onboard TS Resolute, our fantastic accommodation ship. With comfy bunk beds, ensuite facilities and sensational views over the water this will be your home-from-home - the perfect place to return to after a day's adventure.
What to pack & prepare
What you’ll need to bring depends on the event you're coming for - we've got detailed packing lists for different kinds of stays. Rest assured that we’ll provide all the specialist gear you’ll need, like wetsuits, life jackets, helmets and equipment.
Safety & supervision
Keeping our young people safe is our top priority, and we’re highly trained and experienced in health and safety procedures. We're proud to offer a high ratio of staff to children on and off the water. You can trust that our amazing team of staff and volunteers are always looking out for the wellbeing of our guests.
What you'll be doing
While you're with us you'll have choice about the acitivites you take part in – but whatever you choose, you can be sure of action, fun and adventure. There’s also plenty of time and space for relaxation, reflection, growing in connection to others and personal spiritual development.
FAQs
Let us put your mind at rest. Please do get in touch if you have any other questions.
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.
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!
Bookings need to be made online and are not complete until valid deposit payment has been received by the Centre. Do call the office if you have any questions.
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.
This will probably be possible. You will be asked on your booking form if your child would like to share a cabin with anyone in particular. In all cases we will try to accommodate these important requests but ultimately we can't guarantee we'll be able to.
Yes, all staff and volunteers are DBS checked. If you would like to discuss anything to do with our Child Protection Policy, please contact the office.
