We're really in tents!
That's right. We spend an entire week living in canvas tents. Don't worry, everyone has their own space. Meals, meetings and a lot of activities are done in tent groups, each tent has six to eight children and at least two tent leaders staying in the tent making sure everyone's OK.
Learning in small groups
After waking an washing, we spend time in tent groups getting to know each other and to learn about Jesus and what he means to us today. These discussions are designed for everyone, those who are Christians and those who have never set foot in a church before.
Tent Inspection!
A time to tell a joke, sing a song, dance a jig or otherwise try and impress the Tent Inspection Judge. Many have tried, several have failed but you are guaranteed much fun and entertainment in the process.
Challenging meetings
We are here for two reasons. The first and main reason is that we want to tell young people about Jesus and all that he means to us and can mean to you. The second is for everyone to have some serious fun. We have a short morning meeting with some songs and a talk and a longer meeting after dinner packed with activities, songs, drama and talks.
Morning activities
Our range of on-site activities in the mornings usually fall under the broad categories of Sports and Craft. Other activities such as cooking, dance and woodland adventures may be available depending on the qualifications and abilities of the leaders that year!
Outings
Most afternoons, we go on an outing somewhere in or near the Dorset area. These trips usually include going to Weymouth beach, a trip to Crealy Adventure Park and also to Moors Valley, although the exact trips are subject to change.
A-la carte food!
Due to the talents and commitment of several cooks, we are treated to the finest food this side of the Savoy Hotel and no-one has ever complained that they're hungry!
Want to come?
If you've been before, chances are you'll want to come again. If you haven't then don't miss out. Be warned, however, the places

Powerful Stuff?
Living life for Jesus is the biggest and best challenge. There can be a lot to take in and the meetings are where it all happens. We help you to learn what it means to find the correct path and press on towards the ultimate goal. The meetings are fun and exciting with new songs of worship as well as the old favourites. If you want to come on holiday with your mates and you don't mind learning a few things, or if you want to further your relationship with Jesus, Youth camp is for you.
Learning about life
Everyone has questions. Would you like to learn about Jesus and life with people of the same age? Many of whom have the same issues and questions as you. Youth Camp is a great chance to find out these answers with older youth leaders who have also faced the same questions and issues
Activities
Fleet Camps is a great place to be. It's a fantastic area of the country and by the sea. At camp, we have a lot of fun in and around Dorset, whether it's on the beach at Weymouth, bowling or at the cinema. We'll be chilling in the sunshine of the South Coast, catching a sun tan, playing sports and making th most of having a few days off.
Finding a new path
Would you like to spend a few days under canvas with other young people? If you're thinking yes, then it's time to take it up a gear, time to leave behind being a kid at camp and time to get serious about living life and growing up.
How about being a Kids Camp leader?
If you will be 17 or over during camp and you're a committed Christian, how about being a leader at Kids 1 as well? If you're interested, apply for Youth Camp and Kids Camp on your online application and we will contact you to confirm your place. What a great chance to start living your life for Jesus and become involved with Fleet Camps!
Build up and Break down
Nice camp site, that must have taken you a while!
You might not realise that we do not leave the site up all year round. Apart from the fact that we wouldn't be allowed to, it wouldn't survive very long in the South West's windy climate.
What we have to do every year is to put the site up just before Youth Camp starts and take it down as soon as the children have left from Kids Camp 1 (sometimes we even start a little early!)
In truth, a large group of people help us to put up canvas, PVC, electrics, gas and a telephone line and this remarkable feat gets done quicker every year. We used to take a week to put the site up and now most of it is one in a day. Taking it down used to take about 5 days but last year, we managed it in a single day!
If you are willing to help us out for a day or two at the beginning or end of camp and know one end of a mallet from the other (or even if you don't), please turn up on the Saturday of Build Up at 10am or the Saturday of Breakdown at 12:00 and give us a hand (See front page for dates)!
