This Adventures in the Scottish islands course is for young people aged between 16 and 18 years old who are interested in the outdoors, adventurous activities that it can offer and an interest in working to conserve it. Throughout the week you will take part in a variety of activities to discover and explore the Isle of Cumbrae, Wee Cumbrae and Bute.
Challenges might include climbing, snorkelling, raft building, and an overnight camping expedition. A key aspect of the Adventures in the Scottish Islands residential will be your conservation day, where you will conduct work to conserve an area on the Isle of Cumbrae.
This course is suitable for the residential section of the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. Always check with your leader before booking.
