Most of our activities take place away from the Falkirk area taking in some spectacular scenery in challenging adventurous surroundings.
Our team of instructors are experts in running outdoor activities, ensuring your time is action packed, fun, safe and enjoyable.
This Easter we will once again be offering a childcare element to the service by opening our doors at 8.30pm in the morning and remaining open until 5pm after the activity has ended. During non-activity time participants will be closely supervised at the centre.
Our activities all begin at 9am and end at 4.30pm
Courses will be delivered from one of our centres detailed below. If you have any enquiries regarding any of the courses offered please contact our main office. Please Note this is not the booking Office.
