Outdoor Learning
What makes
us unique?
As Scotland’s largest co-educational youth charity with more than 100 years of delivering outdoor learning for young people, we’re well placed to deliver high-quality and affordable outdoor adventures for schools, Scouts, and youth groups.
Our outdoor activity centres deliver a wide range of opportunities for outdoor education and adventurous activities for children, young people and adults.
We want children and young people to love challenges, to be intrigued by mistakes, to enjoy effort and to love learning. And we believe that adventure provides the perfect vehicle for this.

Opportunities for Schools
We're passionate about making sure that as many young people as possible can experience the many benefits of outdoor learning and adventure. We understand the Curriculum for Excellence and we've been delivering school residential experiences for decades. Our three outdoor activity centres offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures with educational impact.
Corporate team adventure
We don't just offer adventure for young people! Our corporate team adventure package is a great way for groups of adults to develop leadership qualities, develop problem-solving skills and foster a sense of team spirit. Our trained instructors can work with you to develop a programme that will ensure your team goes back to the office refreshed, energised and full of new ideas.
