Kids programme

We are passionate about ensuring that everyone feels welcome at Satellites - and that includes the children of our amazing youth leaders and incredible team members! We want Satellites to be an event that is fun and engaging for everyone, no matter their age – and we take the faith development of children really seriously.

That’s why, alongside the main programme, we've developed two kids programmes:

Satellites Kids for 5-11 year olds
Satell-Mites for 1-4 year olds

There are morning sessions (and evening sessions for Satellites Kids) that run just a little bit longer than the main Satellites sessions - so that there's plenty of time for you to drop your children off and get back to your youth groups to engage with them for the whole meeting without being worried about getting back to pick up them up on time. The kids' work explores the same theme as the teenagers through up-front games and worship, as well as through prayer, craft, sports, and performance workshops. Our evening sessions have more of a social focus as we continue to build friendships, from bingo nights to silent discos!

And it doesn’t stop there! Each child is given a bespoke activity book each year for them to use outside of the sessions, whether that’s in their tent or when they get home. Have a scroll through the first few pages of one of them below:

11 and 12 year olds

You know your youth best! If you think that young people in Year 7 would prefer to access the main sessions and regular programme, then that’s great.

Please indicate on your booking in the box provided whether your young people would prefer to attend the main sessions or the kids activities. This will help us ensure we have the correct ratios for our children’s work.

A child with braided hair sings joyfully into a microphone. They are wearing a yellow hoodie with "NON STOP" printed on it and patterned pants. Music equipment and colorful decorations are visible in the background.
A group of children sit on the floor, watching a person on stage in a white coat under colorful flags. The stage has heart decorations and a wooden backdrop. Instruments and a microphone are visible, suggesting a performance or presentation.
Children are seated on the floor, attentively listening, with one child raising their hand. They appear engaged and curious in a classroom or gathering setting.
