HOLIDAY CAMPS

Finding the right location for holiday camp groups can be challenging on several levels. Our accommodation options, highly skilled activity leaders who have the experience of working with groups of young people makes us the ideal partner for your organisation.

Group holiday camps are a great way to help young people grow in confidence, help with motivation, and help instil positivity. Experience Outdoors centres near Dunoon and Aviemore can offer a wide range of packages which can include activities, self-catering accommodation, instructors and equipment in two of the best locations in Scotland.

For groups who prefer to run their own programme, we can offer venue hire, accommodation, onsite facilities and equipment hire. We have BBQ huts, picnic areas and plenty of parking.

Experience Outdoors can offer tailored activity packages to help make your stay memorable. Contact the centre to discuss.

We have included a testimonial from a parent which demonstrates the importance of outdoor learning.

"My son and daughter attended the week course in August, and I had informed you my son has ASD. I would like to thank all your staff as my children had a wonderful time. My son had a period of being unsettled and agitated and getting his sister to help and the attention staff paid towards getting it resolved so the day could continue.

The fact they were in separate teams gave her time to be her adventurous self and be away from being a young carer for her brother but also be there if anything was needed. They would both love to return next year if they can be placed on a waiting list if there is one.

Thank you all very much, you have achieved something I did not think was possible for my son, to enjoy a regular activity with support if required by genuine caring staff - many thanks."

OUTDOOR GROUP EXPERIENCES

Our outdoor experience activities are very popular with many clubs, companies, families and organisations. We work in partnership with you and your group to ensure all participants receive the best experience possible from their visit. No matter the size or type of group we can help develop the perfect package. We offer activity only, accommodation only or a combination of both to help create a memorable experience.

Our specialist outdoor activity centres in Cairngorm and Argyll offer unique ways to learn and explore the outdoors. Lagganlia Outdoor Centre in the heart of the Cairngorms is perfect for learning to ski or climbing activity, while Benmore Outdoor Centre located in Argyll, an area surrounded by lochs and forests, has something to offer everyone - from canyoning and sailing to festivals and forest walks. 

We’ve highlighted a selection of groups and organisations who have enjoyed visiting our centres and the outdoor experiences we offer. Take a look but if your particular group section is not here, contact us to chat through how we can make your next break one to remember.
