Feeling like you haven't had a holiday in a while? Why not go adventuring with God? Set sail on a cruise, hike to the mountains and enjoy a picnic in the park.

How it works
There are five sessions but it has been designed to be flexible for churches and families to be creative in how to use it. You may run it over a holiday week or you may run it over a series of weeks. You can run it virtually or post it out to run at home. There are some different ideas on the 'Info for' pages.
Each session has:
If you are running it as a church, do have a look at the 'Info for churches' page before you get started for important details and some helpful tips and ideas. This includes ideas for how to run it, ways to bless those taking part and publicity.
If you are running it as a family then do have a look at the 'Info for families' page with handy tips and ideas to make the most out of the sessions together. This includes ideas for creating space and choosing the best time for you.
If you are running it in school then do have a look at the 'Info for schools' page for ideas for running as a group or as collective worship.
The Resources page has images, and printable notes and activities for the sessions too.
Each session has:
- An introduction
