Group Adventures at Ardentinny Outdoor Centre

June 2nd 2026

We recently welcomed a group of adults and children to Ardentinny Outdoor Centre for a four-day activity week. With a packed programme of outdoor activities, plenty of time spent exploring the local area, and opportunities to relax and socialise together, the visit was a fantastic example of how groups of all ages can enjoy the outdoor experience at Ardentinny.

Earlier this month, we welcomed a group of adults and children to Ardentinny for a four-day activity week, with our centre providing a comfortable base throughout their stay. Over the course of the week, participants took part in a range of outdoor activities designed to encourage teamwork, build confidence, and create lasting memories.
The group embraced every aspect of their visit, from activity sessions and outdoor adventures to spending time together in the beautiful surroundings of the centre. This week highlighted the unique benefits of residential outdoor experiences, bringing people together, encouraging personal development, and creating opportunities to connect with nature. Whether taking on new challenges or simply enjoying time spent outdoors, the group made the most of their time at Ardentinny Outdoor Centre!
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting the group and were delighted to see so much enthusiasm, laughter, and participation throughout the week.
Our Outdoor Centre is available for a variety of group stays throughout the year. For more information, contact us at [email protected].
