School Activity Days at Dunolly Adventure Outdoors Scotland

Activity Days
for Schools & Youth Groups
Perthshire, Scotland

[ Homepage - Intro - Residential - Contact ]

Dunolly Adventure Outdoors can offer a wide range of educationally based outdoor activities for children on a day or a half day basis (see prices and list below). These activities, which are also part of our residential package of activities to schools all over Scotland, may be useful to schools to use as part of their weekly school programme. We also run summer camp weeks (see separate page for info).

Each activity has an educational objective which falls in line with the general curriculum requirements that schools have to achieve within each year group and therefore a day or half day of activity at Dunolly Adventure Outdoors will have real benefits for the children.

Staff on all sessions are suitably qualified and experienced and the sessions will be set at a level appropriate to the age group. All safety equipment necessary will be issued at the beginning of the session with the appropriate safety brief. A list will be sent to you in advance informing you what to bring for each activity (trainers, jogging bottoms, swimsuit, etc.).

white water rafting RIVER RAFTING
3 hours
The children are taken on a great adventure down the River Tay. This activity offers the excitement of the sport and the educational potential of the connection with the geography, geology, fauna and flora of the area. We offer half day sessions.

duckying DUCKYING
3 hours
Duckying is a bit more of a challenge than river rafting. It involves a 2-person inflatable canoe trip down the river. Accompanied by an instructor.

HIGH ROPES
AND CLIMBING
3 hours
This is a purpose built structure which is positioned within the grounds of the centre. It rises to 45 feet and has a number of low and high elements which are superb fun to try. The children are roped up with harness and a helmet to protect them so there is no danger of falling.

gorge walking GORGE WALKING
3 hours
You want to get wet? This is an adventure up a hill by the watery route. Our instructors have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, so watch out! The challenge is to reach the top. Teamwork, camouflage, facepaint, small waterfalls and swim pools all combine to make this a very rewarding activity.

archery ARCHERY
1.5 hours
With the help of top class equipment and our considerate instructors, you will start from knowing nothing to feeling in control of what you are doing. Once you can hit the boss consistently then the games will commence.

orienteering ORIENTEERING
1.5 hours
A great sport for developing self reliance and confidence. The course size and safety allows us to teach even the youngest of children the art of basic navigation using both map and compass.

biking MOUNTAIN BIKES
3 hours
This half-day activity will follow an easy off-road route. You will pass many important historical and environmental sites which will give your group more of an understanding of Aberfeldy and its surrounding area.

mini beast hunting MINIBEAST HUNTING
1.5 hours
This concerns the enviroment in which we live. The session is designed to make children think about what is around them and how it is being affected by human impact. Creepie crawlies everywhere!

re-enactment MASSACRE OF GLENCOE
3 hours
We bring the history of our area to life by acting out the lives of the people concerned with this particular time in Scottish history. Over a five-year period we see the development of the story until its final conclusion..... the massacre itself.

castle photo MENZIES CASTLE VISIT
3 hours
A visit to this castle really is stepping back in time. It gives an easy insight via our very descriptive instructors as to what life was actually like. The tools of life and battle together as it would have been. Turrets and gun holes, water ducts and ghostie, divining rods and bodies!

hill walking NATURE WALKS & LOW LEVEL HILL WALKING
3 hours
The children love combining the many nature games we play to make them aware of their surroundings. The advantage of a hill walk, and the achievement of reaching the top, all add to the overall experience. This activity is a relaxing half-day which allows instructors and children to bond well through informal chat.
