Someone else does the cooking, the programme, and the worrying.
You do everything, all year, on your own.
This week you don’t.
The children have their own Bible teaching and plenty to do, with a friendly team on hand to help.
You get time to rest and the company of other parents raising kids on their own.
Meals are cooked for you, and Christ is at the centre of it all.
Highlights
- Bible teaching for the kids, at their level.
- A caring team on hand, so you get a real break.
- Meals cooked and cleared, three times a day.
- Time with other one-parent families.
- Safe, unhurried, and plenty for children to do.
Who’s it for
- One-parent families, kids of any age.
- Parents who’d like a break and some company.
- First-timers and returners.
You’ll leave with
- A proper rest, with the kids well looked after.
- Time with people who get it.
- Teaching that gives you easy ways to keep faith going at home.
“Rest is in short supply everywhere. Here, it is real and you will get true rest.”
– Alison, UK
Isaiah 40:11 – He gently leads those that have young.
“We love coming to Capernwray. It’s the highlight of our year to spend time with other one parent families who share our faith. To be nurtured, taught and have loads of fun.“
Kids
We make space for every age to meet Jesus. During our One Parent Family Week we offer for 0–17s:
- Age-group teaching: Engaging, Bible-based sessions designed just for them.
- Crèche: A safe, caring space for babies and toddlers, so you can rest and recharge.
- Fun and faith together: Games, songs, stories and memory verses that stick.
- Leaders who care: Trusted teams who love Jesus and care for your kids and teenagers.
- Space to play: Outdoors and indoors, with freedom to explore.
“I love Capernwray because there is so much to do. Gaga ball and the zip line are my favourites. The kids club is so much fun. I can’t wait to go back next year.”
– Freddie, 9
Teaching
We are delighted that Ruth Morgans will be returning as our guest speaker, speaking on “Pull up a chair – Dinners with Jesus”. Across the week, we’ll journey through five meals Jesus shared in the Gospels, exploring how Jesus
uses food to redefine the Kingdom of God:
- The Meal with Sinners (Luke 5:27-32)
- Dinner at Simon the Pharisee’s House (Luke 7:36-50)
- Jesus eats with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)
- The Last Supper (Luke 22:14-23)
- The BBQ on the Beach (John 21:1-19)
We will also have times of worship, moments of making space for God, for us to speak to Him and for Him to speak to us. We will sing a mix of contemporary songs and older hymns, each one ringing truth from God’s Word and prompting our hearts to prize Him.
