GROUPS: Highland Activities

Archery

Overview

The spectacular scenery of the Loch Insh is reason enough for a visit. It is further enhanced by all the things to do at the centre without ever having to leave the site. This is a great asset resulting in your group spending more time on activity and less time in a bus!

Use Loch Insh’s main lodge and the Boathouse Restaurant as your base and include all or some of what we do best, outdoor activity. A great way to spend your time in this fantastic part of the world.

This is what most of our groups return to do year after year, It’s a tried and tested program. Learn some new sports with the Highland activities package.

Below you will find sample plans for how you might structure your trip or contact us for a bespoke tour.

Day 4 Thursday

Lots of head scratching today. Start off with an improvised rafting session; great to see team work, knot tieing and paddling skills in action. Have a go at improvised raft building, a great way to spend a summers day. Lets hope it floats!
In the afternoon a problem solving session This builds on many of the same skills, as we dream up ever more complicated scenarios. These will always be pitched at the age and ability though. Always good fun. This evening is often the highlight of the week with our BBQ and disco night. Kids look forward to this night all week. It finishes with a prize giving and issue of certificates which are given out by the Loch Insh instructors on duty that week.  We then watch some video or stills of the week which you get to take away with you as a reminder of the kids week. We always try to get as many faces on the film and always try to get the crashes and falls as well as the teachers having a go! A great memento of your week!

Day 5 Friday

This morning the group can try their hand at archery. Always good if you have a score to settle! And a dry sport to finish the week on so no need for wet clothes to take home before jumping back on the bus.
