History

For the 60th anniversary of Crusaders in 1966, an appeal was launched to buy a residential centre in the North of England similar to Crusader's existing centre, Westbrook, on the Isle of Wight. However God's plans were somewhat different and Cae Canol Crusader Centre in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales was opened in 1969.

A new independent charity was formed in 2006 to take on the running of Cae Canol Centre primarily for the benefit of Crusader / Urban Saints groups and other similar church groups.
