Abernethy Outdoor Centres

Abernethy Outdoor Centres is a Scottish charitable trust running residential outdoor activity centres at Nethy Bridge in the Cairngorms National Park, at Barcaple near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, and at Kilmalieu on the Ardgour Peninsula near Fort William. Alongside school residentials, Duke of Edinburgh residentials, retreats and group bookings, it runs its own adventure camps and family holidays for young people, led by its own instructors. Activities on and off site include climbing, canoeing, kayaking, archery, zip wire, gorge walking and mountain biking in the surrounding Highlands. Camps combine outdoor adventure with evening games and an evening Christian programme, and campers are looked after by house parents on site around the clock.
