Parents And Toddlers Group
For toddlers and their parents
- VENUE: DRBC - Church Hall
- TIME: MONDAY 10:00am - 11.30am Term Time Only.
- WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PARENTS AND TODDLERS GROUP? The Parents and Toddlers Group aims to provide a warm and safe area for children to play happily and learn to integrate with others AND provide a comfortable place for parents to relax, socialise, make new friends and share joys and problems. Lots of toys and activities are available for the children (sorry parents only cups of tea/coffee for you!) including a baby area with toys, colouring and painting, sticking and playdough, sand and water play, a bouncy castle and ball pool and climbing frames. Towards the end of each session we have a time of playing with balls and bean bags followed by singing and a story.
- NOTES: There is a charge of £1 per family for every morning attended, to cover costs and refreshments (drinks, breadsticks and fruit). Parents are expected to keep an eye on their children, keep doors closed, keep hot drinks away from children, help with activities when possible.

We then have a story from the Bible where we learn about who God is and what that means for us today. The final part of the evening is taken up with either games (which are generally, but not always, energetic!) or arts and crafts. The children can choose which they want to do each week. We finish promptly at 7:00pm ready for the children to be picked up.

Currently this study is working through a general overview of the Bible, before shifting its focus to Jesus, in the Gospels, and taking a fresh look at Christmas.
- NOTES: The aim of this study is to provide a necessary Biblical counter to the various and conflicting ideas which bombard us all, in every form of media, and claim to provide the answers to our every need.

Pioneer Camp
For 9-17 year olds.
- VENUE: Various around the south of England
- TIME: Summer Holidays
- WHAT HAPPENS AT PIONEER CAMP? Pioneer Camp provides a time for a good holiday, and a great opportunity to make new friends and to learn more about the Christian faith. Campers participate in various activities during the day, including field games, wide games, team games, camp fire and competitions. Outings are made to local resorts. There is often an opportunity for swimming (only under supervision) and exploring the area. All the camp staff are Christians and they include a medical officer, a camp cook, and staff with many years experience. All meals are served in a large marquee. Campers are divided into tents, approximately 6 to a tent, and are provided with groundsheets and sleeping mats, but not blankets. We suggest that campers bring a sleeping bag, a blanket and a pillow. Camp beds are not advisable due to lack of space. One or two members of staff are appointed as leaders to each tent. Pocket money is deposited in the camp bank and withdrawn each day as required. A camp shop sells tuck, postcards, books and souvenirs. Campers help in the work of the camp on a rota basis - for example, preparing vegetables, serving meals and cleaning up after meals. The combination of camping, sporting activities, meeting other young people and learning of the Lord Jesus Christ has attracted many to camp over the years, so book early to avoid disappointment.
- NOTES: There are two camps. One for 11-17 year olds and one for 9-14 year olds both held around the beginning of August each year. The camps tend to be held at different venues each year and cost around £100 per child, which the church may be able to help with.
