The programme runs in the morning and in the evening, and during the afternoon you can make the most of the Butlins facilities, go to some of the seminars and workshops, play some sport or just hang out! There are two programmes for young people:
Distinctive (11-14s)
Distinctive meets twice a day, 10am-1pm and again from 6.45-8.45pm. In the mornings we'll be in small groups to look at the daily Bible passage and see how it can shape our understanding of following Jesus. There's a mid-morning break, then you can choose what to do next – go deeper with some issues, or get involved with sport, music, dance or craft – whatever you fancy.
In the evening there's the Distinctive celebration full of worship, Bible teaching, prayer, response and more!

Praying for schools
We believe that prayer makes a difference even to the most difficult situations. The Pray for Schools vision is to see every UK school become a prayed-for school – is yours?
In 2011, with the support of 'Pray for Schools' we encouraged you to start praying for your school. Pray for your friends, your teachers, your enemies; pray for the decisions that staff have to make about what subjects are taught, how money is spent; pray that God will be at work in the school!
There are 30,000 schools in the UK and Pray for School’s vision is to see every single one of them supported by regular Christian prayer. Pray for Schools encourages this by:
- Keeping a record of all the schools who are supported by prayer groups/individuals
- Promoting prayer events for schools organised around Education Sunday, Pray for Schools Fortnight, Back to School Sunday and Pray Day for Schools
- Encouraging churches to pray for local schools, through the churches charter
After Spring Harvest...
Is your school being prayed for?
Look out for the Pray for Schools bookmarks, with information about how you – and your parents, youth group or local church can get involved in supporting local schools through prayer.
Don't forget those names you committed to pray for
