Holland 2025

Holland 2025 is our first international trip, travelling to the Netherlands for a week of adventure and fun. We will be staying in a dedicated youth hostel and following a full itinerary of activities and excursions.

No. For the trip to go ahead, we need to have enough interest from our members and volunteers. We are currently taking Expressions of Interest to gauge the level of interest. This is due to the cost of the trip being fixed, largely irrespective of the number of participants. As such, to make the trip economically possible, we need to have a minimum number of participants.

Members who are aged 9½-14 at the time of the trip are eligible to attend. Members who are slightly outside of this age range may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

We are not able to provide a final cost at this stage, however it is expected to be in the region of £800-850 per person. This will include all travel, accommodation, food and activities. We are currently taking Expressions of Interest to gauge the level of interest.
