Activities & Events
Weekly Activities
We hold weekly events every Friday evening throughout the year. The different activities provide a great opportunity for lads to unwind after a busy week at school or college. Sadly our Friday night activities do not currently cater for girls.
Residential Weekends
For each of the sections, we run a weekend residential trip. For the juniors, we hold the Junior Bash around February. For the Inters we usually go to an Urban Saints run site called Westbrook but occasionally go to other locations. This runs at the start of March. For the Seniors, we run the Senior House Party at Thump’s House in the Dales around mid-February.
Special Events
Throughout the year we run special events where all sections join together for some rioutous fun! Some of these events include the Big Splash, Good Friday and USG Christmas Party 🎉
Annual USG 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, climbing, rifle shooting, sleep outs, 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.
Overseas Opportunities
ReBuild Mexico and Rebuild South Africa are special eleven-day experiences organised by National Urban Saints in partnership with the American charity Amor Ministries where a team of young people build a new home for a family living in really poor conditions. Lads and leaders from Urban Saints Guildford have been taking part in ReBuild projects every year since 2010 and have found it simply life-changing! ReBuild Mexico is typically made available to lads in year 10 and Rebuild South Africa to those in year 13.
USG Community Activities
Every few months Urban Saints puts on events for the families and friends of our lads. This is an opportunity for us to get to know the parents and families of the lads that come along on a Friday evening and to any of our events. We love to grow in our community so are very excited by any opportunity to do so.
