Company: Operation Cairngorms

Group of five people gather around a small campfire in a wooded area.

Programming example

Busy is an understatement right now in the woodland, building new areas and developing the business for more collaborations. We’ve already got 6 organisations booked in for 2026, ready to get out into the woodland with us, from families, to female-led adventure groups, to those working alongside support dogs and a fantastic new location on the west coast of . And the season hasn’t even properly kicked off yet.

This is what we’ve been saying for the last couple of years - collaboration works. Especially here in Scotland, when organisations come together with a shared purpose, the impact goes further.

But here’s the honest truth…  We want more.  More groups.  More partnerships.  More people getting out of the day-to-day and into something real.

What can we offer your organisation?  Time outdoors with purpose right in the heart of Royal Deeside, on the edge of the Cairngorms.  We deliver residential and day-based experiences, workshops and courses, ranging from 1-day sessions through to 3-day immersive stays.

We deliver:  Wilderness and bushcraft skills  Nature-based reconnection, simple, effective and no pressure  Adventure training activities like cold water exposure, archery, crossbows, axe throwing  Fitness-focused retreats led by an experienced, high-level coach  Site hire and self-delivered opportunities  Everything is tailored to your group.

A quick reality check, Yes there is a cost. We don’t run on good intentions alone. We price fairly, keep it accessible and we’re happy to support funding conversations but we won’t take that responsibility on.

Examples of who we have worked with already  Military-focused:  Veterans Housing Scotland  Lothian veterans Centre  Scottish Veterans Residences  Bravehounds

Beyond that:  Nike  Barts  The Candy Kittens  …and more.   So if you’re looking for something that actually lands…

Not a tick-box exercise.  Not another classroom session.  But a proven, hands-on experience that people remember Get in touch.  We’ll help you shape it, deliver it, and make it count.  Simple as that.
