Overnight residential trips that build independence, resilience and friendships to last a lifetime.
Some of the biggest moments in a young person’s life happen away from home. Our residential trips take CKC players to centres and destinations where they live, play and grow together for a few unforgettable days. Days are packed with cricket, team challenges and activities designed to stretch confidence — from leading a group to cooking for teammates. Nights are full of the kind of conversation that only happens away from home. For many of our players it is their first time sleeping away from their family. The pride on collection day, and the stories told on the journey back, say more than any report card. Trips build independence, resilience and friendships that outlast the minibus ride home. Players return taller in confidence, closer as teammates and already planning the next one. International tours are the summit of this journey — like our London to Beirut connection, carrying the spirit of CKC across the world.
A cricket ball can cross any border.
