• About the event
Hey SOUL Youth Family!
We’re thrilled to invite you to SOUL Shift 2025 – the UK’s leading Christian youth camp, now celebrating its 7th incredible year! Renowned for its powerful worship, world-class preaching, and life-changing encounters with the Holy Spirit, SOUL Shift is an experience like no other. And yes, the wildly popular SHLYMPIC GAMES (Shift Olympics) are back, bigger and better than ever! Every year, youth from across the UK share how SOUL Shift has transformed their lives, and we can’t wait to see what God has planned for 2025.
At the heart of SOUL Shift is a mission to help young Christians, aged 11-17, deepen their faith and build a stronger relationship with Jesus. Expect unforgettable moments of worship, inspiring messages, engaging breakouts, and loads of fun with friends old and new as we invite you to join us on this journey of growth and transformation.
This year, we’re returning to the beautiful Royal Hospital School in Ipswich, set in the stunning Suffolk countryside. The camp will run from Tuesday, 12th August, to Friday, 15th August 2025, concluding with a powerful final service at SOUL Church on Sunday. For your convenience, we’ll provide coach transport to and from the camp.Don’t miss out – secure your all-inclusive ticket today by following the link below! While your essentials are covered, you’ll also have access to optional extras like merch, tuck shop treats, and coffee shop snacks. If you’re new to SOUL Shift, you’ll quickly feel at home in our welcoming community, with dedicated leaders and pastors on hand to support you throughout the camp.
Parents can rest assured knowing their children are in a safe, faith-filled environment, where they’ll grow spiritually, form lasting friendships, and have the time of their lives. Please note: due to limited space at the Royal Hospital School, registrations are capped for the first time ever. Based on the incredible growth of SOUL Shift in recent years, we anticipate tickets will sell out quickly, so don’t wait to book your spot! Got questions?
