What could our children become if we give them the chance?

As featured in Scotland4Kids, Whithaugh Park shows why residential outdoor learning can be so much more than a school trip. With Scotland’s Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) Act 2026 putting outdoor learning firmly on the agenda, the question is no longer simply,
“Can children go?” — it is, “What could they become if they do?”

At Rock UK’s Whithaugh Park in the Scottish Borders, pupils learn by doing: building confidence, resilience, independence and teamwork through climbing, canoeing, raft building, bushcraft, mountain biking and shared challenges beyond the classroom.

Read the Scotland4Kids article and discover how Whithaugh Park can help schools build residential experiences around the outcomes they want for their pupils.

Meeting church and youth leaders along with families who are passionate about helping young people grow in faith, confidence and community.

We have heard powerful stories of the difference a residential trip makes to discipleship and creating life long memories and with stays from as little as £99 many are signing up

We’re also talking about our gap year opportunities, where people can deepen their faith, serve others, develop leadership skills.

Help shape the future of Christian residential ministry!

Rock UK are delighted to support a new national research project exploring the impact of Christian residential experiences across the UK, and we'd be pleased to invite you to complete the survey.

Have you ever been on a Christian or church camp, a church family retreat, a youth group weekend away as a participant or volunteer or perhaps work with or volunteer with schools or youth groups?
Maybe you would like to but don't know how...

Christian Residential Network are undertaking an extensive research to understand the impact to these residential trips and the barriers that stop groups or individuals attending.

If you could spare 5-10 minutes to complete the research that would be amazing and if not, please share it with others in your church, organisation or network so that it is the best research possible to support young people in the UK share in amazing residential experiences.

Complete the survey here:
