Registration for Kids & Youth Groups is NOW OPEN:

Registration Instructions

The Convention programme is free and open to all. Watch the video below and browse this page to find out more about our Kids & Youth programmes. We ask that 3-18 year olds are registered in advance so that they attend the correct groups and receive Bible teaching appropriate to their age. To register your children, please follow the instructions below:

1. Go to the Registration Webpage 
2. Create / Update Your Account

To register, create an account with your family details. If you already have an account from last year, you will need to log in with the same details and update your family information.

3. Register for Groups

Register your children for the Convention week you are planning to attend.

Spaces are limited so that we can provide the best possible experience for those attending in a safe environment. 

4. Children with Additional Needs

Register your children as usual for their relevant age group. You will then be able to add detail to your child’s record. Our Additional Needs Team may get in touch with you to discuss.

5. Waiting Lists

If your child is added to a waiting list, please be patient. We have a certain capacity for each group to ensure that children are safe and have the best experience at the Convention. Our team will work to increase the capacity of groups where possible, and you will be notified by email if a place becomes available.

Please only contact our team for support rather than waiting list enquiries.

Ages 3 - 11

Each morning (and evening for those aged 8–11) we have a great programme with exciting Bible teaching that we pray will help the children to know and love our great God!

The programme also includes small group work, games, activities, great singing and times of prayer. Each child will be in a small group with one of our brilliant team members. These small groups offer children a great opportunity to talk with their leader about what they are learning, to make new friends and have some fun! We have an excellent team who are excited to meet the children, are ready for a fantastic week and are waiting to share how great it is to follow Jesus.

We hope that families really enjoy Keswick! Our desire is that, as we teach the children during our sessions, we might enable parents to carry that teaching on throughout the day. We aim to follow the themes of the adult programme wherever possible and to tell you each day what we’ve been teaching, so families can talk about what they’re learning and grow to know Jesus together. We really want to be able to help in any way we can – so please do speak to any of the team!

Additional Needs Guides for Parents

Ages 11 - 18

Come and be challenged by God’s word and have fun with friends all in the amazing surrounding of the Lake District. If you’re aged between 11 and 18, then Keswick Youth is for you!

Speaking about God, reading the Bible and looking at how to live as a Christian will be central to your time at Keswick – and you’ll get to meet others your age too.

Our priority is to learn about God through His Word in the Bible. Through teaching, seminars, small group study, singing (plus some little extras!) God’s Word is taught and its relevance to all our lives is explained. A typical day involves Bible teaching in the morning plus sessions looking at stuff like big questions or practical ways of living as one of God’s people. Afternoons are free to do what you want and in the evenings there’s more teaching followed by Late Nite where all sorts of stuff can and will happen!

Please note that adults who are not part of the Keswick Youth Team will not be allowed access into the youth venues.

Parents must arrange collection of any 11–14s not attending the Late Nite programme.

Additional Needs Guides for Parents

Kids and Youth Additional Needs and Disability Provision

Kids & Youth ministry is central to the Keswick Convention. 
The numbers in any one age group can range from 80 to 300. Weeks 2 and 3 are often fuller than Week 1. We want children and young people to learn about Jesus, have fun, be safe, and build lasting relationships. Group sizes can sometimes feel busy and noisy. To support your family, we can provide the following: 
  • The Disability & Additional Needs Advisor for Keswick Ministries will be available on site. Please contact them if you would like to discuss any issues
  • We have an Additional Needs Coordinator for Kids & Youth along with a small volunteer team
  • There will be a quiet space for Youth
  • There will be a small tent with some sensory toys at the back of each Kids venue
  • We cannot provide any 1:1 care though please speak to us if your child needs this in order to access the programme
  • Issues like extreme distress or aggression mean that you will be asked to attend further sessions with your child
  • Additional needs support and orientation will be done within the individual teams
  • There will be a welcome session, guided tour and registration on Sunday afternoon (time and place to be confirmed)
  • There will be a coffee & chat afternoon each week for parents of children and young people who have additional needs or disabilities, with activities available for the children (time and place to be confirmed)

 

The provision we make through our wonderful volunteers is growing, developing and under constant review. We always welcome dialogue with parents/carers as we strive in partnership with you seeking the best for all children.
