Annual Camps
About our Camps
We have been offering exciting, action-packed, faith-inspiring holidays at USG for over 100 years, and to this day, they continue to be the highlight of the calendar year! With a huge selection of activities, including go-karting, coasteering, paddle boarding, sleepouts, scavenger hunts, talent competitions, and much much more, it’s easy to understand why lads of all ages come back year after year. It’s a great chance for lads to enjoy time away in a safe and secure environment, experience a taste of the real outdoors, gain awesome lifelong memories, and build new friendships with other lads. The parents get a nice, quiet house, and their son(s) get an action-packed time away that we guarantee they’ll be talking about for many months!
The lads are divided into ‘tent groups’ according to their age, with two experienced adult leaders in charge of each tent, giving a lad-to-leader ratio of about 4:1. Some of the activities involve everybody on Camp, while others take place in smaller groups. We work hard to obtain a balance of free time and organised activities.
As with all our activities, we also aim to challenge and stimulate the lads to discover what the bible says about Jesus, and His relevance to our lives today. This is achieved through a variety of short meetings, interactive workshops and then smaller tent group discussions.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”
John 3:16
Whitsun Camp
If you simply can’t wait until August for the chance to experience an Urban Saints Guildford camp, then why not join us at our Whitsun (Whit) Camp? Whit Camp is three and a half days of madness in a field in Waverley – just half an hour south of Guildford. You’ll get to try your hand at shelter building, aqua games, footy and a classic “wide game”. Bring your super-soaker and some shaving foam to annoy the leaders, and you’re ready
When: 23rd - 26th May
Where: Waverley Abbey Woods, GU10 2AY
Summer Camp
This is the big one! For two weeks each year, Summer Camp takes place in one of our two fabulous sites in Cornwall. Summer Camp is a chance to get away from it all with your mates, do new, exhilarating activities and spend some time looking at the Bible and its impact on our lives. With highlights including the legendary Nark Hunt, Tide fight, go-karting, coasteering and paddle boarding, you’d be mad to miss it!
When: 16th - 29th August 2025
Where: Lizard Paninsula Cornwall, TR12 7QD
