Hooray! We can’t wait to meet you! You’re going to have the best week having adventures, making memories and meeting new friends! We want you to feel as excited as possible before your break so you'll find lots of information to read through below. If you have any questions please get in touch - we're here to help and can't wait to meet you!
We’re looking forward to having you on our residential breaks soon. We promise we’re going to make sure you have the best week ever! We have lots of fun activities planned for you and will be there to help and support you every step of the way.
When you arrive at Go Beyond you’ll be met by a member of our Break Leader Team and a group of four to five volunteers who’ll be there to make sure you’re happy and having fun throughout your week with us. Look out for…
"I love arts and crafts projects and having fun outside!"
"I enjoy all things outdoor and nature related, and love surfing climbing and swimming"
"I am passionate about helping young people grow and develop into the best person they can be"
You’re in for a treat! Each of our centres is decked out with the ultimate in fun and games! Head outside to our Sports Barn for ball games, trampolines and giant Jenga or to our chill lounge for movie nights and board games.
We also have an Arts and Crafts Barn where your imagination can go wild making, creating and drawing AND a Games Room with football tables, table tennis and pool – could you be our new pool champion?!
If you’re anything like us you might be wondering what you’re going to do without your favourite snacks for a whole week! Well don’t worry. We have an on-site chef who will be making you the best meals to enjoy (and yes, they sometimes come with pudding!) We’ll make sure we know about foods you can or can’t eat so you won’t have to worry about those while you’re with us.
It’s totally normal to feel nervous about leaving home for a week and being somewhere new with new people. We get that and we’re here to help. If at any point you want to speak to someone from home that’s totally fine and we’ll make it happen – but we reckon by the time you’re here you’ll be having way too much fun to miss home too much!
We’ll have lots of fun activities planned for when you arrive. Some of them you’ll do at our Centres and others might be a short walk or minibus ride away (we’ll have a word with the driver and make sure we can get your favourite tunes to sing along to on the bus!)
Some of the activities you might like to look forward to when on a residential break include things like rock climbing, surfing, baking and toasting marshmallows around the campfire (don’t let anyone tell you that’s not a real activity).
If you’re feeling nervous or worried about any of the activities we’ll never pressure you into them and will always understand. But we also know when you conquer them…you’ll be proud of yourself forever!
If there’s anything else you’re at all worried or nervous about before you arrive please let us know. It is our job to make sure you have the best week and make memories you’ll remember forever. You can call our team anytime between 8.30-5pm on Mondays – Fridays or email coordinators@gobeyond.org.uk.
