Driven by values
At CYE, our Christian faith shapes the way we see people and the way we do things. We believe the message of Jesus speaks hope into ordinary life, and we try to reflect that in the way we welcome, lead and journey alongside young people. We've see that through adventurous activities confidence grows, friendships deepen, and something steady begins to take root. We aspire to be...
Perfectly Imperfect
Because God loves us unconditionally, we welcome all people as they are, without judgment or barriers. Everyone belongs, and everyone is valued.
Deeply Championing
We prioritise building people up, giving them opportunities to learn, grow, and lead – even when that means learning through mistakes.
Wholeheartedly Joyful
We bring energy, playfulness, and delight into everything we do, showing that life with God is vibrant and life-giving.
Genuinely Compelling
We create experiences that are magnetic and transformative, drawing people not just to us but to the deeper reality of God’s Kingdom.
Meet the team
We’re one team with many parts. We grow together, support each other, and stand shoulder to shoulder so that we can be a strong, steady presence for every young person who comes through our doors.
Our team is made up of office staff, maintenance, hospitality, activity leaders and managers. Some are full-time, some part-time; some live on site, and many wear more than one hat. Together, we create the culture and setting for the irresistible experiences our guests enjoy at CYE.

Meet our trustees
They support us every step of the way, offering guidance and challenge where it's needed and keeping a trusted eye on the bigger picture. Without our Trustees we couldn't do the 'day-to-day', we're grateful beyond measure for the time and care they give us.

Join the adventure
If you share our values and love being part of something active, creative, and community-led you might just find a place within our team.
Volunteer with us
However you’re able to be involved, volunteering at CYE is about more than filling a role. It’s about joining a community that walks with young people as they grow in confidence and faith. Many volunteers find CYE a place to belong AND find their own faith strengthened along the way.
