What’s It All About?
Fort Rocky is a fun-filled, activity youth weekend, designed to give young people an amazing time away from home with their mates. However, Fort Rocky has a greater purpose than just this…
Young people get the chance to ask and be asked some really big questions about the most important subjects in life. We use interactive Roadshows and personal stories as our means of communicating the Christian message. Fort Rocky is not just any weekend residential but an opportunity for young people to explore the Christian Faith in a new, exciting and significant way.
3 Reasons
Fort Rocky exists for the 3 following reasons, which together, create the perfect platform for this a fantastic youth weekend away. We aim…
• To give young people the best weekend of their year – Through the highest quality outdoor activities, interactive Roadshows and team building games, Fort Rocky aims to exhilarate, entertain and engage every young person, promising an incredible time and some fantastic memories.
• To encourage significant relationships to begin and develop – Relationship is at the heart of youth ministry and residential weekends away/holidays are unrivalled when it comes to significant relationship building within youth groups. At Fort Rocky we aim to take the stress of organizing a residential out of your hands, ensuring you get all weekend to focus on your group.
• To give every young person the opportunity to develop a relationship with God – Fort Rocky is evangelistic at heart and it is our passion that each young person hears the Good News of Jesus in a way that is relevant to them and goes from a weekend having moved on in their spiritual journey, where ever they are at.
