carry the adventure into life
ReLoad is our answer to the question: what happens when you leave school, enter the challenges of adult life and need space to breathe, reflect and reconnect with God? These weekend retreats for 18+ offer exactly that – a chance to step away from the onging pace of work, university or whatever you're navigating, and refocus your heart and mind.
Central to each ReLoad event is the desire to share wisdom across generations. Our team doesn't pretend to have all the answers, but they're passionate about journeying alongside you, bringing encouragement and creating space for honest conversations about the questions and challenges you're facing. As Colossians 3:16 says, we want to let Christ's message dwell richly among us as we teach and encourage one another.
Our flagship ReLoad Devon weekend takes place each October at St George's House in North Devon, where stunning coastal scenery meets brilliant activities like surfing, coasteering, mountain biking, kayaking and climbing. All equipment and instruction are provided, so whether you're a complete beginner or experienced, you'll find your level. Not into high-octane activities? The beautiful countryside is perfect for walking, exploring or simply relaxing in local cafés with a cream tea.
Our newer event, ReLoad Leading, is a weekend of equipping you as a leader in multiple spheres, be it family, church, culture or the workplace. With qualified and experienced keynote speakers and workshops designed to hone your leadership skills, this is a weekend not to be missed.
On all our events, we take food seriously – expect generous, delicious home-cooked meals throughout the weekend, with all dietary requirements catered for. Evenings on ReLoad events are spent in local pubs, round bonfires, in worship and discussion times, or playing games. Cost is deliberately kept low, and bursaries are available (up to 50% off) because we don't want money to be a barrier to anyone joining us.
Community That Goes Deep
ReLoad brings together 18-30s from different backgrounds, churches and stages of life. What unites everyone is a desire for authentic community and meaningful faith conversations. At ReLoad Devon, the SWAG team (Sharing Wisdom Across Generations) are available for prayer, chat, advice or simply good company – and they're brilliant at creating space where everyone feels valued and heard.
Refresh Your Faith
A number of seminars anchor each ReLoad weekend, alongside worship, prayer, workshops and discussion time. The content is deliberately relevant and engaging – tackling the real issues facing young adults today. Whether you're in a season of doubt, wrestling with purpose or hungry to grow deeper in your relationship with God, ReLoad provides the space and support you need to take the next step.
