Satellites is a summer event for young people, brought to you by the team at Youthscape. It’s a five-day gathering, designed to inspire teenagers to live with God at the centre of their lives for the other 360 days of the year.
Come and camp with your youth group – we’ll help you plan if it’s your first time.
Innovative, varied programme aimed at all stages of faith and none.
Make memories together and see lives transformed.
2025 Theme:
Cosmic Habits
Young people are growing up in an age of frenetic change and overwhelming distraction. We know that Jesus is the hope that they need; that he offers a life of peace, purpose and adventure that’s an antidote to the chaos offered by the world. So how do we help our teenagers to know that life, and to practically live it when their brains have been conditioned to seek out the next hit of dopamine?
At Satellites next summer, we’re going to delve into the ancient habits that have helped Jesus-followers for thousands of years to stay rooted, even in the midst of tumultuous change.
Sometimes referred to as Spiritual Disciplines, these simple practices offer a multitude of ways for young people to connect with God and experience the fullness of the life he offers. From prayer to fasting, celebration to simplicity, these are the universe’s secret keys to personal fulfilment, lasting transformation, and a better relationship with God himself.
Forget self-help books, fad diets and lifestyle gurus - if you really want to live your best life, you need to embrace the Cosmic Habits.
What’s it like?
A typical day at Satellites…
MORNINGS
After early-morning sports and exercise options for the committed – our day starts with a choice of creative ways for young people to explore the Bible – whether that’s listening to a speaker, discussing in your own group or doing something creative or reflective. We’ll help young people connect with Scripture, perhaps for the first time. We’ll come together for a main session – loads of fun, worship, relevant teaching and the powerful sense of being part of something bigger than your youth group – 3,000+ young people exploring faith together.
Afternoons
There’s something for everyone through the afternoons – our cafés and venues, plus our arts and sports programmes are open giving young people a huge choice – whether that’s hanging out in the skate park, having a discussion about faith in real world, getting advice on your mental health or just eating way too many doughnuts. The one thing you can be sure of is that the young people you bring will not be bored, even for a moment.
EVENINGS
Our main sessions are the highlight of each day and take young people, if they want, on a carefully-planned journey into deeper faith. There’s no pressure to respond and we’ve designed our approach to prayer and ministry around the local youth group and youth leader – meaning you can follow up whatever happens once the event is finished. Late night the party really starts – music, fun and a real sense of being away for a brilliant holiday with your friends – old and new.

How Satellites can
help your youth work
Being part of the bigger church
Your youth group may be small but there are thousands of other groups just like yours. Satellites brings you together and helps young people realise they are part of a big and beautiful story of a global church diverse in culture but sharing the same faith. That experience can be life-changing for young Christians.
Being away and open to God
A few days away from home and everyday challenges can create the space for young people to think more deeply than ever about their life and faith. It’s often a moment of new commitment and transformation.
Deeper relationships in your group
There’s nothing like a shared experience of camping to bring you together! Youth leaders tell us Satellites creates the space to get to know young people in a way that doesn’t always happen week to week at home.
