The theme for this year’s Scottish Episcopal Church Youth Weeks, usually referred to as Glen ‘09, is God At Work In The World’. This year Week 1 will take place from Sunday 2nd August to Saturday 8th August, and Week 2 from Sunday 9th August to Saturday 15th August.
What is Glen?
The Scottish Episcopal Church Youth Weeks happen each year in August when young people and leaders from all over Scotland gather together for six days of fun, fellowship, worship, fun events, sports, swimming, arts and crafts workshops and conversation. It is an action-packed holiday week with a difference.
There is plenty of time to relax, make good friends and generally have the best time. As with the previous few years, this year there will be two separate weeks in response to continued demand; you can attend only one week.
Who’s It For?
The Youth Weeks are open to anyone in secondary education up to, and including, July 2009; also those under 18 years old who have left full-time education. You must be sponsored by your local Scottish Episcopal Church congregation.
Where?
The Youth Weeks happen at Glenalmond College in Perthshire. The college is set in magnificent grounds about 10 miles from Perth. It has superb facilities which include an indoor swimming pool, sports hall, sports fields, squash courts, dedicated arts and music facilities, and much more.
New and varied menus at every meal are provided in the magnificent dining hall. Accommodation is in modern halls of residence, in single or twin rooms. Each room has its own wash-hand basin and there are ample shower facilities in each house. Sheets are provided, but you must bring a sleeping bag or duvet.
How Much?
The total cost of the Week is subsidised by the Scottish Episcopal Church. In order to contribute to these costs it is suggested that each person pays £110.00, and your local church vestry pays £90.00.
- You pay: £110.00
- Church vestry pays: £90.00
Please speak to your diocesan office or youth officer if there is any query regarding funding or any other matter.
