Hillwalking & Camping Week
This unique 5 day camp will inspire your child with a real love of the hills. We head off on local day walks Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, which lead up to an overnight camping expedition Thursday & Friday. The week is fully catered with breakfast, packed lunch & post-walk soup & cake every day.
This camp is aimed at children aged 11 to 15, but we are flexible - get in touch if you have a slightly younger child who you think may be suitable for this camp.

True to our Ten Principles, we will be on foot or on public transport throughout the week. This means that the participants will really learn how to go off on their own independent adventures after the week is over, without relying on the 'Parent Taxi'!
Who is this for?
This camp is aimed at anyone aged 11 to 15 who loves walking, exploring and camping. You don't need any experience. This is a physical week where you can expect to be on your feet for fairly long walks every day - but it's not about going fast, and definitely not competitive.
I'd love to come but I don't live near Inverness!
Not a problem. We now have a network of local Adventure Host families who would love to put you up. You will be welcomed into a local family home near the village hall. All our host families are keen outdoors people themselves, carefully chosen by us and subject to vetting by Disclosure Scotland. Please get in touch if you are interested.
What equipment is provided?

You just need your own walking boots, clothes suitable for walking, waterproof jacket & trousers, and any personal medication / toiletries. Don't let kit be a barrier to taking part, just contact us for help. We have a large stock of loan equipment.
How much does it cost?
£375 for the 5 days. This can be paid in 3 flexible installments. The price includes breakfast, lunch and soup / cake at the end of each day, the overnight expeditionon Thursday - Friday, plus all the equipment listed above.
