Youth and Community groups

You don't need to be a school to enjoy everything Arran Outdoor Education Centre has to offer. We welcome a wide range of youth, community and adult groups from across North Ayrshire and beyond, providing memorable experiences in the unique setting of the Isle of Arran.

Our centre is ideal for organisations such as Scouts, Guides, Cadets, youth groups, community organisations, sports clubs, adult learning groups and other voluntary sector organisations.

Whether you're looking for a residential stay, an outdoor activity programme, a team-building experience or a venue for a special event, we can help create a package tailored to your group's needs.

The centre operates throughout the year, with residential programmes particularly popular during the Easter, summer and October holiday periods. We also offer weekend bookings and selected off-peak term-time opportunities, subject to availability.

What we offer:

• residential accommodation for groups of varying sizes
• outdoor activity programmes delivered by experienced staff
• day visits and non-residential activity courses
• team-building and leadership development opportunities
• flexible programmes tailored to your group's objectives
• a safe, supportive and inspiring environment in the heart of Arran

Whether you're planning an adventurous weekend, a skills-based programme or simply a chance for your group to connect and grow together, Arran Outdoor Education Centre provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable experience.
