Youth Adventure Programme

Our exciting activities run throughout the summer holiday period. We have activities to suit everyone with a flexible programme to ensure you don’t miss out on the action.

This year all our activities will take place at either our Victoria Buildings base, Action Outdoors Centre or the Helix lagoon. Individual days and adventure weeks are available and we will be offering 45 minute long instructor lead sessions at the Helix.

This summer we will once again be offering a childcare element to the service at Victoria Buildings and Action Outdoors by opening our doors at 0830 in the morning and remaining open until 1700 after the activity has ended. During non-activity time participants will be closely supervised at the centre. Our activities all begin at 0900 and end at 1630.

CanoeingBig boats equal big fun. Come and try it out, or if you’ve been in one before, improve your skills on one of our local lochs. You might even visit a cave, an island or a ruined castle.

Kayaking You may get wet, you will pick up skills and you will have a whole lot of fun. Our loch based kayaking courses are a great way to explore some stunning areas.

River KayakingA day for more experienced kayakers. You will need to be confident in water and have a skill level above beginner. If you haven’t worn a spray deck before try our beginners kayaking course first before booking for a river trip.

White Water RaftingUp to eight people in a raft for some serious fun down one of Scotland’s classic rivers. Getting wet is guaranteed along with the fun. Open to all abilities with a sense of adventure.

Rock climbing / AbseilingRock climbing at a local crag or if the weather isn’t good we will go indoor climbing. We can take anyone from absolute beginners to budding mountaineers. How high can you climb? How hard a route can you do? How big an abseil can you manage? Find out this summer.

Our Adventure Days

Gorge WalkingThis is our easiest rock and water activity. It’s a challenge to scramble up a steep river where there may be waterfalls and jumps. It’s great fun and very popular

CanyoningExploring bigger canyons, where committing jumps and using ropes to abseil are essential to get down safely. For the more experienced adventurer only.

Mountain BikingMountain biking on single track terrain. This summer we will run bike sessions to suit all needs, from beginner to more experienced riders. For those who want to explore a little further we are running a mountain biking expedition.

BlokartingRacing along, powered by the wind, inches above the ground – this is a fantastic experience. We really need the wind for this activity to run so if it’s a calm day we will do another activity instead.

BushcraftLearn a bit about surviving in the woods, build shelters, light a fire and get involved in a whole lot of fun! Based in Muiravonside Country Park this course will appeal to anyone who just loves being out of doors.

CoasteeringClimb, jump and swim along a beautiful stretch of coast on this action packed adventure. You don’t have to be a strong swimmer to enjoy this activity and all the jumps are optional.
