Walsingham, England

Cross Streams is a part of the New Dawn conference which takes place at Walsingham, and is the programme specifically for young people and young adults, with two streams: one for 11-14 year olds and another for those 15+ years.

The actual conference is for all of the family, with stuff for everyone; adults, youth, children and toddlers.  It's been going for over 20 years now, with this year (2008) being the 22nd New Dawn, and attracts up to 3,000 people.  New Dawn has had youth streams for all of these years, but in 2007 Cross Streams @ New Dawn was launched, which attracted nearly 500 young people and young adults between the ages of 11 to 25.
