Thinking about bringing a group to JCA? Come and try it for yourself – for free.
If you’re a group leader or organiser, come and try it for yourself with a complimentary taster weekend at Condover Hall from Friday 17 – Sunday 19 April 2026, packed with adventure, great food and time to explore the centre.
You’ll experience exactly what your young people would get on a JCA residential, so you can book future trips with confidence.
This weekend is designed for leaders and organisers of groups who might book future residentials, retreats or activity trips.
Perfect if you help organise:
- Scout and Guide groups
- Youth clubs and community groups
- Faith groups and church youth teams
- Charities, young carers and SEND groups
- Sports clubs, performing arts or special interest groups
If you help decide where your group goes, this is your chance to experience JCA first-hand – on us.
Weekend at a glance…
Across the weekend you’ll join activities, try the food, see the accommodation and chat to the JCA team about trips for your group.
