About Scripture Union - Minnis Bay
Minnis Bay holiday club returns in 2020 from the 26th July - 31st July online for one week of fun - learning about God. Stay tuned to this page so you don't miss out!
Scripture Union - Minnis Bay Description
Minnis Bay, west of Margate, is a long sandy bay with rocky and shingle areas. Popular for water sports and seal watching trips, it’s also a great favourite with families as a safe beach.
The mission held each summer there is ‘dynamic, fast moving, well established and family-friendly, ’ describes the leader Avtar Hunter-Singh. The aim is to show the tremendous love Jesus has for each of us through activities and events which are fun, energising, relevant, challenging and life changing!
The mission, which is well-supported by local churches, is particularly well-known for its impressive water fight. For the last couple of years this has even involved the local fire brigade arriving with their hoses to join in the fun.
Avtar is keen for the lively team to see their roles as history makers, having an impact on the community. The mission attracts over six hundred children and young people during the fortnight for a Jesus-focused programme. A programme for adults has grown up alongside, and there is now a well established café which provides not only yummy home-made cakes but also opportunities to meet with others.
‘The team not only serves hard but also enjoy a series of team events. Our hosts in Minnis Bay are fantastically generous and the relationship with the local churches is a genuine partnership in bringing the good news of the greatest truth ever spoken! ’
‘Come on, be a part of it! ’

WE LOVE GUNGEEEE🙌🏽 We love the fun that we have at SU every year with you guys! We have so many great memories of the ways we’ve seen leaders get messy, massive water fights, inflatables and seen God move.

This is the first year my girls have done su one in twigs and one in tramps and what a fantastic 2 weeks they have had. Thank you all so much for such a brilliant week and all your hard work and fun that you put into every session. Fantastic finale. They are counting down the weeks to next year! Thank you each and everyone of you who makes this fantastic 2 weeks ���� xx
Thanks again for yet another fab 2 weeks! Re-living my youth through the lil un! The enthusiasm, love, care and dedication you show is amazing! Can't wait for next year now!
Thank you to the whole team for yet another brilliant fortnight. First year in Trogs for my daughter - who loved every session. The leaders obviously work on mindfulness, self-esteem and the whole child during the sessions as it has led to many meaningful conversations at home as a result. Being a teen is hard enough so to know there are kind, considerate people willing to give up their own time for the welfare of kids is great. Thank you. The activities, fun and games a triumph as always! Thanks to all involved - counting down to next year!
My daughter is 9 & has attended for the last 3 summers, she loves the activities, the leaders and your boundless energy is awesome. Roll on summer 2017
Its amazing, everyone is friendly and the kids have great fun while learning about god too
Incredible 2 weeks... changed my life forever. I would recommend to anyone! :D
First time my son's attend and he loved it. Can't wait to go again. Thank you all involved x
Best 2 weeks this year cant wait for next year to come
