Junior Section - Ages 8-11

What is Junior Section?

Junior Section is our second section and is for children aged between 8 and 11, in school years 4, 5 and 6.

What do they do?

Junior Section have fun! Their meetings are crammed full of challenges, games and activities, often ones that they themselves have suggested. There are hundreds of activities catering for just about every possible interest. At the same time we try to encourage them to explore other new interests. There is loads of variety and little chance of becoming bored!

The award programme is specifically designed to encourage a child to look beyond themselves. Many are interested in one type of activity – perhaps sports, or natural history. Our special programme provides for such interests and at the same time gently urges them to try others of a different type. This provides a balanced all round programme – which includes spiritual and social input, as well as physical and adventure activities in 5 different programme zones . . .

  • Body – fit for fun
  • Mind – think and do
  • Spirit – God and me
  • Community – me and my world
  • Creativity – make and do
  • Junior Section will also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Also we go on weekend camps that are often the highlight of the year.

What else do I need to know?

Junior Section have a special uniform that they wear. Details of this are sent out on your first visit to BB. Everyone wears the same thing so they feel they belong.

How long do they meet for?

Junior Section offers a full and varied programme, with few individual activities lasting more than 15 minutes. We meet in the Baptist Church Hall on Stanley Road in Morecambe at 6pm on term-time Fridays, and finish at 7:15pm.

Why Junior Section?

Junior Section are developing rapidly. Between the ages of 8 and 11, there are big changes in a child's mental, emotional, social and physical development. However, all children are different and have a variety of needs. The relationships we form with children at this age can be important in assisting them to achieve a sound sense of personal and group identity.
