Outdoor learning has a long history in Scotland. Pioneered by countryside rangers in the 1970s. The mantle was carried on with the emergence of a nature pedagogy, best exemplified by Forest Schools in the 1990s, and now it is firmly embedded in the Curriculum for Excellence. Learning outdoors can be enjoyable, creative, challenging, and adventurous.

Usual cost for these basecamps is £35, we are offering a reduced rate at £8 per child
