You’re bound to find something, with activities ranging from Easter egg hunts, duck races and garden sports to gorge scrambling, orienteering and movie nights for your teenagers.

Most of our hotels offer indoor swimming pools so you can join your youngsters for fun in the pool outside organised events.

SNEATON CENTRE A VERY SPECIAL VENUE

Finding Your Oasis continued able, attractive and peaceful places out there if you know where to look. Many Christian residential centres have self catering units available with the added bonus of events, sports facilities and other attractive features on hand. Above all, the assurance of a warm welcome and an atmosphere which reminds you of all that is good in your life, is priceless.

Chris Edmondson, Bishop of Bolton says “My experience is that in our stress-filled, hurry-sick world, it has never been more important that people have places where they can step back and be refreshed in body, mind and spirit.” Many of these oases can be found on the holiday search facility contained on the CCI website – www.christianholidays.org.uk.

So, unless you crave the dubious excitement of the totally unknown, seek out a great place to stay on holiday in 2011. As someone once said, “The circumstances of life don’t determine your destiny, it’s the decisions you make.”
